Inspired by the centuries old “Sanja” tradition of sleeping out on raised decks, this locally designed and hand-crafted camp is expertly refurbished with bamboo, palm and thatch by village artisans each year. The soft furnishings are made by the “Kushirika” craft group. The camp has an extremely low human footprint, running on solar with no cement anywhere! The menu is derived from local ingredients with a Mozambican flavor with the majority of the ingredients sourced locally. The goal is for 75% of the income generated to stay within 100km of the camp to generate a local economy.

Mpopo Trqails Camp sits on the Lugenda river and is opened for guests to experience the heart of the Niassa Special Reserve, in northern Mozambique. This eco-camp is set on a forest island at a magnificent hippo pool. Mpopo offers guests an exclusive and bespoke experience led by selected private guides passionate about Niassa’s wilderness and its people. The camp has four private decks and can host a maximum of 8 people. Explore Niassa on your own terms and in your own time. Take a walking or canoeing trail, sleep out on an "inselberg" (one of Niassa's distinctive island mountains) or head out on a game drive into the back country to find a lion pride.
