Vilanculos is situated about 800km north of Mozambique’s capital city,
Maputo.
Vilanculos is accessible by road, if your holiday allows time to
drive. The road is fair, with a particularly bad stretch after Maxixe
which
lasts for about 80km. It is not advisable to drive the National
Road after dark. There are numerous places along the way to stay over,
should you want to break the journey and take in the beautiful scenery
along the road. Please contact us should you require any
information
in this regard.
The border posts are open every day, with the hours varying in and
out of season. Generally, they are open 24 hours in December and until
22h00 during other high season periods. Out of season they close earlier.
We will be able to advise you of the times suitable for your trip
when
you make your booking.
Should you prefer to fly, Pelican Air flies in to Vilanculos from
Oliver Thambo Airport daily. Flights are available from Lanseria Airport
twice
weekly. Please contact us should you require information regarding this.
Airport transfers will be arranged for you to the lodge once you
arrive.
