Vilanculos
Vilanculos is a stunning coastal town in the Inhambane Province of Mozambique. Named for the tribal chief, the outer lying areas were named after his sons. During the colonial period the name was changed slightly to better suit the Portuguese language, but was changed back to the original name that it currently carries. Vilanculos tours offer everything that makes Mozabique such a popular and special place to visit. The tropical coastal town maintains some its rural past while providing tourists with all the facilities and services they need.
The town is considered the gateway to the Bazaruto Archipelago, the islands are easily accessible from by dhows that run on a regular basis. There has lately been a massive increase in investments in the tourism industry to accommodate current and encourage future visitors. The tropical climate provides year round warm weather, ideal for water sports. The tropical water provide stunning and unique marine wildlife, which makes for some of the best diving in the world.
