Indian Ocean islands

Dugong Lodge is situated on the East-African seaboard on the coast of Mozambique within the boundaries of “The Vilanculos Coastal Wildlife Sanctuary”, the first privately managed National Park in Mozambique. 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.

This diverse eco-system of bush and wetland, with its powder white beaches and crystal clear water is host to a magnificent array of fish, dolphin and very importantly, the nearly extinct “Dugong”.
Shallow and deepwater reefs reveal beautiful creatures such as the green and leatherback turtles, sailfish, manta ray, to name a few. Big deep-sea game fishing of marlin and barracuda is truly spectacular and the large flocks of flamingos and pelicans are a sight to behold.

Dugong Lodge, perched right on the edge of the beach is an idyllic setting with ten luxury tents built on raised decks in the shade of Msasa Trees and Jecka grass canopies. The lounge and restaurant on raised Mahogany timber decks with a jetty jutting out into the protected Vilanculos Bay, afford one breath taking views of the ever-changing colours and hues of the water dotted with the white sails of ancient dhows.
