NIASSA RESERVE [Mozambique]

The Niassa conservation area is the largest in Mozambique and is twice the size of the Kruger National Park in South Africa. This huge wilderness preserve, covering 42 000 square kilometers, is only just being discovered and contains by far the greatest concentration of wildlife in Mozambique.
  
Niassa provides visitors with an experience of pure wilderness that is almost impossible to find in the world today. Untouched and virtually unexplored, it is one of the last vestiges of the wildness that characterised the African interior centuries ago.  Little has changed over hundreds of years here and, while never densely populated, the region has been inhabited for thousands of years. The wildlife remains free and unfettered and the results of an aerial census in 2002 estimated over 12 000 elephant, 9 000 Sable antelope and several thousand Cape buffalo. Lichtenstein's hartebeest, eland and zebra roam the plains and river valleys against a backdrop of towering inselbergs (or island mountains) that dominate the topography here.

The reserve also provides refuge for over 200 endangered Cape hunting dog, as well as other predators such as lion, leopard and Spotted hyena, and general game such as kudu, bushbuck, impala, wildebeest, waterbuck, reedbuck and hippo. Three sub-species, the Niassa wildebeest, Boehm's zebra and Johnston's impala are endemic to the Niassa area. This is one of the last areas in the world where such a wide array of wildlife thrives without any management by man.
