the boundaries of the Vilanculos Coastal Wildlife Sanctuary.

The sanctuary covers 30 000 hectares of
pristine marine and wildlife territory, a unique 'Beach and
Bush' experience in a hidden corner of sub tropical Africa.

on raised decks in the shade of Msasa Trees and Jecka grass
canopies. Each of the luxuriously appointed tents has
an en-suite bathroom, huge feature bath- tub and an outside
shower.

two twin beds or one king-size bed and are equipped with
a hair-drier, fans and mosquito nets. All tents open up to
a private patio.

the Bar offering poolside refreshments, the
Lounge, equipped with TV monitor and DVD player, the Fresh
Water Swimming Pool & Boardwalk Jetty.
At Dugong Lodge the tropical island ambiance
and abundance of fresh seafood influence the cuisine. The
Chef specializes in seafood and local Portuguese cuisine.
Activities on offer are World Class Deep Sea Fishing,
Scuba diving, snorkeling in a safe calm bay and sunset
cruises.
Your
stay in the tropical Sanctuary will offer you an unbelievable ‘birding’ experience,
