With the assistance of the department of National Parks the Volunteers will try and preserve local trees which are in considered in danger species and find out how many people still living in the Park. The volunteers will have the opportunity to take part in the process of reconstruction of the park

This is normally provided for duration of the project. Most of our projects are usually self-catering (unless it is stated otherwise) and sufficient money is provided for you to buy and cook food together. Please bring with you traditional receipts that do not require particularly special ingredients. Accommodation is usual in classrooms or tents but this is known before hand.

Gorogosa Park is located in Sofala Province in the center of Mozambique, about 1000 km away from the capital city of Mozambique (Maputo). Gorongoza National Park extends over the bracetygia-covered plains north of Beira Corridor to the south-eastern base of mount Gorongoza. Formerly regarded as one of the southern Africa’s finest wild life reserves, attracting over 12,000 visitors a year, with more game than the much larger Kruger National Park in South Africa, the area became central battleground during the Civil war ended in 1992. Since the war ended a lot of work has been done to reopen the park to visitors. Landmine have been lifted, bridges repaired and lodges rebuilt. Weekends are meant to be for free tours that the group can organize by itself. You can decide to visit places of interest around the area of the work camp. It has now become a custom in all our Workcamps to have cultural nights. This affords each volunteer the opportunity to present her/his country and culture. Please bring with you your national flag and traditional dress if possible. Sports and artistic moments will be organized together by the participants and local community. In some cases the workcamp may run during special event (festival, fairs, workshops and others) occurring close to the area where the camp will be running.
