Manda Wilderness

(Mozambique)


With the commitment and active involvement of the local communities, an area of 100,000 Ha (1/4 million acres) of unspoilt wilderness - brachystegia and riverine forest, savannah, swamps and streams, mountains and miles of beaches with crystal clear fresh water - has been set aside to form the basis of the Manda Wilderness Community Game Reserve.

Before the wars this was one of the best big game areas in the country and has always been known for its biodiversity. At present, hunting is illegal, and the wildlife that was decimated during the civil war is slowly recovering. Species found in Niassa province include buffalo, zebra, elephant, lion, leopard, sable, roan antelope, and the rare African Wild Dog. The bird life in Manda Wilderness is rich and varied. The crystal clear waters of the lake provide spectacular snorkelling and diving. The lake has about 1,000 species of brightly coloured tropical fish, some of which have yet to be identified. Marine animals include two species of otter and occasional crocodiles.

Manda Wilderness is also a charity initiative that seeks to help the locals benefit from the growth of responsible tourism and to fund community and agricultural projects.

In and around Manda Wilderness Game Reserve
Manda Wilderness is a wildlife enthusiasts paradise. Game viewing is excellent and done on foot or by canoe.
