Hello all.. The winners of the Vida Selvagem II wildlife photography competition have been announced!
First place went to Alberto Rigon, second place to Mario Traversi and third place to Paulo Alexandre. Honourable mentions went to Stuart Williams, Jean-Paul Vermeulen and Mario Traversi.
Kupfula had a strong showing among the exhibitors with quite a few members participating, and Moçambique Aventura as well, taking 2nd and 3rd place.

Overall the content and level of photography has improved a lot since the first edition of the competition, with a lot more photography from outside of Maputo. Even though the level of photography has improved there were fewer participants this year compared to last year. So to all of you nature photographers, keep watching this space for news of the next competition and in the mean time sharpen your skills and get out there and visit the wild places in Mozambique. This photo competition is set to become a permanent fixture of Mozambique.

Gorongosa Newsletter


The Gorongosa National Park Newsletter has a feature on the Grupo Moçambique Aventura trip to the park and Gorongosa Mountain.

Newsletter article

Read how our adventures unfolded in this beautiful and wild place. The camaraderie, enjoyment, frustration and exhilaration of our trip to the top of this beautiful mountain, as well as through the park itself where we saw many unusual animals in a truly wild setting makes for an interesting tale. We are currently preparing for our next adventure, this time to Monte Namuli near Nampula. This is the second highest mountain in Mozambique.
