Itinerary

Day 1 – Johannesburg/Mozambique: Fly from Johannesburg OR Tambo Airport to Vilanculos, Mozambique. On arrival, you will be met by a representative who will assist and transfer you to the helicopter for your flight to either lodge (included). On arrival check in and relax! Overnight at Benguerra Lodge (deluxe option) or Indigo Bay (luxury option). Three meals a day included in both options. Drinks also included at Indigo Bay.

Deluxe Option: The Benguerra Lodge offers an expansive lounge, bar and dining room – all with large wooden decks and indoor and outdoor seating areas, as well as a swimming pool and small spa. Some of the best scuba diving and snorkeling in the world is available off Benguerra’s shores with the surrounding coral reefs rich in sea life. Indulge yourself in countless hours of relaxation under coconut palms, delight in the diversity of birdlife, visit the freshwater lakes (with crocodiles!), sail in a traditional Dhow and search the seas for the legendary dugongs. You can choose to do as much, or as little, as you like. The Cabanas are built right on the edge of the beach and each offers a Queen-sized bed with mosquito net, large bathroom with bath, shower, and outdoor shower, overhead fan, private deck with jacuzzi/plunge pool and sun loungers, mini-bar, tea & coffee making facilities. The chefs are some of the finest in Mozambique. The menu is comprised mainly of freshly caught seafood. The flavors are an exotic, heady mix of African, Arabic, and Portuguese.

20 Years of Experience & Passion

Our passion for Africa began with a dream of living on the continent – a dream realized. We explored parks, rivers, mountains and villages, learned about the flora and fauna, fell in love with everything, and came away wanting to share our passion for a remarkable continent. Africa Adventure Consultants was born of the desire to give more people the chance to experience Africa’s wonders. Let us guide you into the wilderness.
