The peak, at a height of 1800 m, is significantly higher than the rest of the park, into which it was incorporated in 2010. Due to its elevation, it has a cooler climate than the rest of the park, contributing to its different ecosystem and biodiversity. Gorongosa Safaris does coordinated trips to Mount Gorongosa and the surrounding area, which is known for its coffee cultivation.
Mount Gorongosa is an inselberg in Sofala Province of central Mozambique. Its highest peak, Gogogo, reaches an elevation of 1,863 meters. It was created in the early Jurassic by the Karoo volcanism.

Montebelo Hotels organizes a boat safari to Lake Urema to see birds, hippos and crocodiles. Each safari can take six guests (adults and teens only). Montebelo states that boats cannot be booked in advance due to the lake's seasonality.
Take a 30-45 minute walk with a guide to the community of Vinho just outside the park boundary. It is a 2-km walk to the Pungue River, with some birding along the way. At the Pungue River there will be a short trip in a small boat. You may greet many of the park employees as they commute from Vinho on their way to work. You will also visit the school and hospital in the community. The trip takes 2-3 hours in total.
