Mozambique's protected areas carry as much post-conflict recovery story as conservation history. Gorongosa National Park, devastated during the civil war, has become one of Africa's most closely watched wildlife recoveries. Further north, Niassa Reserve protects one of the continent's largest and least-visited wilderness areas. SA Hikes lists Mozambique reserves with information on their current status, access and the hiking available within each.
