SOUTHERN MOZAMBIQUE Rio Azul

Highlights

General information

Rio Azul is located on the banks of the Govuro River in Mozambique, overlooking the estuary and is about 2km from the river mouth. The Govuro River mouth is 130km north of Vilanculos. The Govuro River runs north from Vilanculos and past Inhassoro and enters the sea at Bartholomew Diaz point.

Rio Azul is one of the few venues along the Mozambique coast where one can access deep water with strong currents close to the beach. The point at the river mouth has deep water right at the edge and big game fish move into easy casting distance of the shore to feed. The estuary offers many species of fish for light tackle fishing. There is abundant birdlife in this mangrove region as well as beautiful, un-spoilt beaches to be explored.

The rooms at Rio Azul offer the very best in rustic beach luxury and are spacious, comfortable and bursting with character.

Rio Azul is perfect for honeymooners or those looking for somewhere peaceful to stay well off the ‘beaten’ tourist track. For the budget conscious, the lodge offers an excellent alternative to some of the nearby island lodges which can often blow even the largest of holiday budgets.
