The Moribane Forest Reserve (Portuguese: Reserva Florestal de Moribane) which was proclaimed in 1957,[2] is a natural forest in the buffer zone of the 640 km2 Chimanimani National Reserve, and is situated 24 km north of Dombé, in Sussundenga District of central Mozambique.

[4] Native mammals include Bush elephant, Bushbuck, Red duiker, Samango monkey, Bushpig and several species of small carnivore.

[2] Moribane forest was intensively exploited from the early 20th century onwards, initially for natural rubber derived from Rubber vine, and subsequently for its native timber species, namely Red mahogany, Iroko and Panga-panga.

By the end of the war in 1992 the forest was largely intact, but its Bush elephant population was reduced.

[2] Ndzou has thatched rondavels, tents, a three-bedroom house, restaurant and bar.
