The Lugenda Wildlife Reserve, in the Cabo Delgado province of Northern Mozambique, is an untouched and undiscovered 45 000 square kilometer expanse of land teeming with wildlife. Lugenda Bush Camp is situated within this magnificent reserve, on the eastern bank of the Lugenda River, amongst the Ngalongue Mountains (towering insilbergs or island mountains).
The Serra Mecula, a mountain of similar proportion to Table Mountain in the Cape, is positioned across from the camp. It was on Mecula Mountain that Paul Von Lettow Vorbeck and his 250 000 men held up towards the end of their incredible First World War East African Campaign against 1.5 million allied troops, finally arriving in Zambia still undefeated at the end of the war. There are sacred sites on the mountain, and Batwa (Pigmy) paintings, possibly dating back 4 000 years, have recently been found in the Reserve.
