A-100-year vision to deliver a long-term conservation plan supported by a sustainable business model for the purpose of the management and protection of Karingani’s at-risk environment for the benefit of future generations.
At Karingani, we have an integrated and enduring vision of becoming a world-leader in sustainable conservation and nature-based tourism. Our goal is to restore, enhance and maintain the natural ecological processes and biodiversity of Karingani through an effective and sustainable partnership between the Mozambican Government, private investors and participating communities.
We strive to promote diversity, equity and inclusion at Karingani.
The way we are going to achieve our purpose – is to utilise, exemplify and demonstrate the viability of world-leading investor-funded sustainable conservation practices in order to re establish and preserve the presence of wilderness and wildlife, alongside thriving and like-minded communities in this vast, strategically important habitat, which, without careful, long term responsible stewardship, faces the stark risk of being lost forever.
Our values are embodied in the ethical business practices and ideals that we have established to describe what we stand for and govern the way we behave.

Karingani connects to a Southern African private charter network, offering easy access for eco-tourism, conservation-based travel, and luxury safari circuits in Mozambique.
Mozambique, a southeastern African nation of 33 million people, spans 801,590 km² and over 2,500 km of Indian Ocean coastline. Its vast terrestrial and marine ecosystems hold exceptional biodiversity and significant potential for conservation-based and eco-tourism investment.
Tourism remains underdeveloped, offering a unique opportunity for impact investment in high-growth areas such as coastal and marine tourism, wilderness tourism, cultural heritage, and community development.
With President Chapo’s commitment to tourism growth, stronger infrastructure, e-visas, and growing air access, Mozambique is emerging as a leading destination for nature-based and luxury conservation tourism, supporting biodiversity and sustainable economic growth.
Created 12 years ago Karingani Game Reserve is a 147,000 ha privately controlled reserve located in southwestern Mozambique at the junction of the Kruger National Park in South Africa and the Limpopo National Park in Mozambique, forming part of the Greater Limpopo Transfrontier Conservation Area (GLTFCA). The GLTFCA is a well-recognised and ambitious strategy to integrate existing Mozambique, South African, and Zimbabwean national parks with private game reserves into an aligned conservation management zone where animals are free to traverse across vast protected areas.
Karingani enjoys a significant and notable diversity of habitat landscape and wildlife species, ideal for a nature-based forum initiative.
Karingani forms a part of a Mozambican tourism circuit aligned with Pomene Marine Reserve, a PPP with two of the founding partners of Karingani and ANAC, Mozambique’s wildlife management agency.
Karinganis land assemblage has been two decades in the making and is the result of a group of forward-thinking US and European-based families supported by local Mozambican partners. Karingani is a for-profit and impact investment deriving operating revenues from a combination of tourism, philanthropy and grant-funded conservation and community initiatives, focused on delivering long-term economic stability for the reserve.
Currently Karingani employs over 350 people located at the reserve and in Maputo.
On the ground, operational anti-poaching, community relations, conservation, science, and infrastructure development teams operate with administration, HR, and legal support located in Maputo.
Karingani produces annual Natural and Social Capital reports on the reserve’s performance utilising metrics for Biodiversity, Community and Physical Development.
Branding and sustainable development guidelines are available and are a requirement in order to operate within the reserve.
The Karingani Constitution is a series of operating standards that third-party operators and investors will be expected to comply with to protect the future of conservation and land stewardship programmes over the long term.
