Gorongosa Coffee

Café da Gorongosa

A shade-grown coffee project on the slopes of Gorongosa that supports rainforest restoration and community income, open for visits and tastings.

Gorongosa Coffee is a community conservation project run with the park. Hill farmers grow Arabica coffee under the canopy of regenerating rainforest, as an alternative to clearing forest for farmland, and the proceeds go to the community and reforestation. Visits cover the process from picking and pulping to drying, and include tasting local coffee. It is usually combined with the Gorongosa Mountain waterfall hike as a day trip. Reservations must be made through the park, and the coffee is also sold at the Chitengo Camp shop.
