Maputo International Airport (MPM) will most likely be your entry point into the country. It is about 3km/2mi from the capital, Maputo.
There are no flights to Gorongosa National Park. From Maputo you can take a scheduled flight to Beira or Chimoio. Beira is 200km/124mi from Gorongosa, and the drive takes about 3 hours*. The drive from Chimoio takes about 2 hours*. Chitengo, the lodge in the park, can organize transfers from either airport or you can rent a car at Beira airport. However, self-drive within the park is not currently allowed due to security concerns.
You can fly from Johannesburg in South Africa to Maputo or directly to Beira.
There is also an airstrip in the park for chartered flights.
