Giraffe House Vilankulo is a guest house standing directly on the beach in Vilankulo, on Mozambique’s southern coast. Giraffe House Vilankulo is built around a private beach area with two swimming pools, and its family rooms open onto gardens or a shared balcony and patio. It sits within walking distance of the town’s shops and the jetty used for boat trips to the Bazaruto Archipelago.
Best for
Giraffe House Vilankulo suits travellers who want a beachfront base within walking distance of Vilankulo town, with its own arranged boat trips to the islands.
It suits less well guests wanting a large resort with extensive grounds, since it is a smaller guest house with a compact beachfront footprint.
Location
The guest house stands on Rua de Palacio on the beachfront at Vilankulo, close to the town centre and jetty. In a straight line it is about 1.7 km south of our Vilankulo town reference point.

Facilities at Giraffe House Vilankulo
Verified facilities include two swimming pools, a bar, an outdoor dining area, free on-site private parking and a private beach area with direct beach access.
Trade-offs and what to know
As a guest house rather than a large hotel, facilities such as dining choice and public space are more limited than at a bigger resort.
Boat excursions to the Bazaruto Archipelago depend on sea conditions and should be confirmed locally rather than assumed guaranteed.
Getting there and getting around
Giraffe House Vilankulo is reached by road from Vilankulo town, close to Vilankulo Airport; a private vehicle or arranged transfer from the airport or town centre is the practical way to reach the beachfront property.
