DRIVING TO VILANKULO –

FROM KOMATIPOORT, (SOUTH AFRICAN BORDER) and MAPUTO

There is now a good tarred road all the way into Maputo from the South African Border at Komatipoort, with a toll halfway between the border and Maputo:

• Keep on the EN4 until you reach the outskirts of Maputo;
• The road veers towards the left, keep on the EN4 along the outskirts of Maputo until the next toll station;
• Go through the toll and take the next road to the left – sign-posted ‘Xai Xai EN1′, (this is the main road north);
• The EN1 continues to wind its way around Maputo. Head straight (through traffic lights, junctions, circles and roundabouts). Stick to the EN1 until you reach Xai Xai;
• Continue through Xai Xai (where refuelling is a good idea) and stay on the EN1;
• Pass through all towns and villages (slowing down to the speed limit and looking out for speed traps);
• Refuel in Maxixe, then carry on up the EN1 for about 250km. Take a right turn towards ‘Vilanculos’ on the 212 road;
• Continue straight for 18km, you will reach Vilankulo.

ONCE IN VILANKULO

As you drive into Vilankulo, turn left at the T – Junction, continue for 1.2 kms past the BIM bank. You will be faced with another T-junction and the sea right in front of you. Turn left and continue another 500m. Casa Rex (sign-posted) will be on your right.

Further down this road, you will find the other 2 Sol Resorts properties also on your right - Golden Sands Apartments & Deacra Villas, just over 5 km away in total.
