Vilanculos & Bazaruto Archipelago
The Bazaruto Archipelago is made up of 4 large islands, Bazaruto, Benguerra, Santa Isobel and Santa Carolina. The town of Vilcanulos lies on the mainland, and is the gateway to exploring these tropical beauties.
Vilanculos has a number of bars and restaurants and is bustling with a vibrant nightlife. From here there are flights out to the islands, where a range of luxurious beach lodges has been set up to make the most of the beautiful waters and coral reefs.
Deep-sea Fishing
The game fish swimming in the ocean depths off the islands offer you some enthralling and exhausting deep-see fishing opportunities.
