Azulik Vilankulo Wildlife Sanctuary.
Nestled on the unique ridge of "Worlds View" at the northernmost tip of the San Sebastian peninsula within Vilanculos Coastal Wildlife Sanctuary, AZULIK eco lodge offers an unparalleled experience.
Perched about 60m above the high-water mark, it boasts arguably one of Mozambique's best views. The backdrop of ever-changing turquoise seas, adorned with local Dhows navigating emerging sandbanks, sets the scene for this unspoiled luxury retreat.
THE WILDLIFE SANCTUARY:
Spanning 30,000 hectares of pristine Marine and Wildlife territory, this sanctuary is the first Privately Managed Specially Protected National Park in Mozambique.
AZULIK overlooks the Portuguese Bazaruto Archipelago, designated a National Park in 1971, showcasing a diverse array of sea creatures like Great Leatherback Turtles, Sailfish, Angel Fish, Manta Ray, and Dolphins. Notably, it is home to the nearly extinct Atlantic Dugong. On land, encounter Livingstone's Eland, Kudu, Sable antelope, Blue Wildebeest, Plains Zebra, Giraffe, Nyala, Duiker, and Steenbok.
Deep-sea fishing for Marlin and Barracuda is spectacular, while large flocks of Flamingos and Pelicans add to the enchantment. These harmonious habitats truly embody the WWF's "Gift to the Earth.
