home. Not just a building — that feeling of belonging, of being welcomed, of being with people who genuinely want you there.

Bazaruto Archipelago waters

The experience

Bazaruto & Benguerra,
the day trip.

A full day in the Bazaruto Archipelago — one of Africa’s oldest marine parks. We stop where the snorkeling is clearest, where lunch is freshest, where the beach belongs to nobody. You set the pace.

A note from the founder

I started EKAYA to do things differently. The crew paid properly. Real experiences for the people who visit. That’s it.

The place

Vilankulo,
where we live.

Vilankulo — you’ll see it spelled Vilanculos too — is a coastal town in Inhambane Province, Mozambique. It’s where we grew up. It’s also where most travelers launch from to reach the Bazaruto Archipelago: a chain of islands with some of the clearest water in the Indian Ocean.

But Vilankulo is worth more than a day of island hopping. Red sand dunes, fishing villages, and food markets full of peri-peri and fresh-caught anything. The road ends here — most people are fine with that.

Whether you’re here for three days or a fortnight, send us a message — we’ll sort the details.

Come home
to Vilankulo.

Tell us when you’re coming and what you’re into. We’ll send a rough plan, a price, and probably a photo of the sunset last night.
