Mozambique in 13 days: Maputo National Park, Tofo ocean safari, Bazaruto and four Gorongosa-area nights. One weather reserve remains for each of Tofo and Bazaruto. The Gorongosa air connection is confirmed before booking.
Dates and price will be published after the programme and supplier quote are confirmed. Booking is not currently open.
The programme links the southern national park, two distinct marine bases and Gorongosa safari. Tofo and Bazaruto each have one outing and a weather reserve. If the outing has already taken place, the reserve day has an agreed nature or cultural programme rather than a promised second free sea excursion.
The planned Vilanculos-Gorongosa flight routing goes through Beira. Gorongosa retains two full safari days and a further mountain or conservation day subject to access, with an agreed safari fallback. The tour finishes in Beira after the confirmed return air sector. Lodge standard, meals and all air sectors are costed together.

A private party can request the thirteen-day route combining Maputo National Park, Tofo, Bazaruto and four Gorongosa-area nights. Accommodation standard and group size change the quote, not the need for confirmed air access through Beira.
The design has one principal Tofo outing and one Bazaruto outing, with weather reserves. A reserve is not a second paid excursion or an unlimited rebooking promise. Extra mountain, conservation or boat activities need a separate seasonal, access and cost check.
September falls within the operator's published Gorongosa season, but an operating calendar does not confirm rooms or flights. Coastal boat and snorkelling decisions depend on actual ocean conditions rather than the season name alone.
The existing marine reserves stay within the thirteen-day design. Gorongosa boating is seasonal and is not automatically included in September. Sun protection, a light warm layer for early drives and waterproof protection for the sea and electronics remain relevant.
The thirteen-day design contains twelve twin-share hotel and lodge nights at the selected standard. The ledger must identify four Gorongosa-area nights, the coastal bases and room allocation. Properties and availability are not yet confirmed.
Breakfasts are part of the costing. Gorongosa and marine-excursion meals, plus drinking water during transfers, need a precise schedule. City lunches and dinners not expressly listed in the quote remain separate. Dietary needs are agreed before booking.
