Niassa Reserve, Game reserve in northern Mozambique.
This 42,000-square-kilometer protected area contains mountain peaks, savannas, wetlands, lakes, and the largest miombo forest system in Africa.
Established in 1954 during Portuguese East Africa period, the reserve remained undisturbed through the civil war due to its remote northern location.
The reserve connects with Tanzania's Lukwika-Lumesule Game Reserve, forming a section of the Trans-Frontier Conservation Area for wildlife protection.
Visitors access the reserve through scheduled flights to Mecula or Mbatamila, followed by guided transport to designated accommodation sites within the area.
The reserve sustains 350 African wild dogs, representing a substantial portion of the remaining 8000 specimens of this endangered species worldwide.
