Morrungulo

One or two nights to unwind on a quiet beach between Inhambane and Vilankulos. Not a base for sightseeing.

Not yet checkedSourcesWhat these labels mean

Morrungulo (also called Nelson's Bay) is a family-run beach resort 13 km east of the EN1 highway, 7 km north of Massinga. It offers clean white sand, swimming, fishing and scuba diving. The town has no real centre: the resort is the destination. Most travellers stop for one or two nights on the drive between Inhambane and Vilankulos.

  • Africa ↗When a route touches a yellow-fever country — even a transit of 12 hours or more — keep the original yellow card (ICVP) in your hand luggage; health desks and airlines can refuse boarding or entry without it.
  • Africa ↗Nine African countries on this site have no trip line because governments advise against travel; several others have no-go regions. Read your government's advice for every country on the route before paying deposits.
  • Southern Africa ↗A rental car may leave its home country only with the rental company's cross-border letter, the registration papers and paid road taxes at each post; driving into Zambia, Zimbabwe, Mozambique or Angola without them ends at the border.
  • Southern Africa ↗Across the subregion, plan every road leg to arrive before sunset: livestock, wildlife, pedestrians and unlit trucks make night driving the main cause of serious visitor accidents.
  • Mozambique ↗Many Western passports are visa-exempt for 30 days but still need an approved travel authorisation from the official evisa.gov.mz portal before departure; it cannot be bought on arrival.
  • Mozambique ↗Carry your passport or a certified copy at all times; police document checks are common.
  • Mozambique ↗Governments advise against travel to parts of Cabo Delgado province in the north; check your own government's advice for the exact areas.

Entry rules depend on your passport. Full visa guide
