Mount Gorongosa, Mountain in Sofala Province, Mozambique
Mount Gorongosa reaches 1,863 meters in elevation with three peaks, including the highest point Gogogo in the southwestern section of the formation.
The mountain gained protected status in 2010 when the Mozambican government incorporated its upper zones above 700 meters into Gorongosa National Park.
Local guides share their expertise about the mountain's biodiversity while leading visitors through various ecological zones from grasslands to montane forests.
The southern and eastern slopes receive more rainfall than the northern and western areas, creating different conditions for hiking and exploration throughout the year.
The mountain contains granite formations from the Late Jurassic period and features distinct ecosystems including miombo woodlands and ericaceous heathlands.
