It was once known as ‘the place where Noah left his Ark’ – 4,000 square kilometers of lush floodplains in central Mozambique, packed with wild animals. But 15 years of civil war has taken a heavy toll—and many species have been almost completely wiped out. Journey with National Geographic to Mozambique’s Gorongosa National Park and discover what is being done to bring this African oasis back to its former glory—including perhaps the most ambitious restoration effort ever attempted, with elephants, hippos and scores of zebra, wildebeest, impala and buffalo being relocated into the park. .
