Mozambique
Indian Ocean beaches at Vilanculos, gateway to the Bazaruto Archipelago.
Vilanculos and Bazaruto
Mozambique's coast is a long run of Indian Ocean beaches. Vilanculos looks out over clear, shallow water towards the Bazaruto Archipelago, where boat trips, snorkelling and diving fill the days. It's an easy place to unwind after a safari in South Africa.
