Private driver or arranged transfer
Best for a park, mountain, desert or remote arrival point

Lodge, guide or activity transfer
Best when the destination controls final access
Ask the accommodation, guide or activity provider at Ilha de Mocambique whether it offers pickup from Gorongosa National Park or from a nearer gateway.
Public road transport plus final pickup
Best for lowering the main-route cost
Reach a confirmed gateway from Gorongosa National Park, then use a pre-arranged vehicle for the final section to Ilha de Mocambique.

- Is this one continuous journey to Ilha de Mocambique, or will I change vehicles, terminals, airports, ferries or drivers along the way?
- What is included in the quoted price, and can fuel, tolls, border charges, parking, waiting time or luggage create an extra payment?
