Chikalango Restaurant
Restaurante Chikalango
The only restaurant in Gorongosa's Chitengo camp, serving Mozambican dishes and buffets, with vegetables from nearby communities.
Located in the center of Chitengo camp at the park headquarters (Montebelo Gorongosa Lodge & Safari), this is the only restaurant and bar in the park open to day visitors. Breakfast is a buffet and is included in the room rate. Lunch can be ordered à la carte. Dinner is mostly a buffet, and guests praise its generous portions, dessert table, bar barbecue and good wine list, though à la carte lunch quality can be inconsistent. Most vegetables are organic, grown by nearby communities. Each meal costs about 5–20 US dollars. Settle the bill at reception before check-out, in cash or by card. The camp closes during the rainy season (December to late March).
Opening hours
Breakfast 6:00–9:30 a.m., lunch 12:30–2:30 p.m., dinner 7:30–9:00 p.m.; closed from December to late March along with the camp
