Flights from Johannesburg to Vilanculos Mozambique

Good news for holiday makers flying from South Africa to Mozambique on LAM airlines is that the flights from Johannesburg to Vilanculos are direct and only take 2 hours. This is a morning flight on a Monday and Friday only and the return flights are only in the afternoons, Monday and Friday. Plan your holidays accordingly – many of our guests like to see Kruger for a few days then fly to Vilanculos to link with private transfers to the Bazaruto Archipelago islands. 

The other way to do it is to fly via Maputo to see the city lights and eat out at fancy Mozambican restaurants or to head off to the Santa Maria Peninsula for a few days at Machangulo Beach Lodge or a self-catering adventure at Cabo Beach Villas. We love the idea of hiring a car and self-driving to Maputo Special Reserve National Park! These flights via Maputo happen three times a week, mornings from Johannesburg and afternoons from Vilanculos.

Flights to Xai Xai Mozambique from Johannesburg

Book a cheap flight to Mozambique’s Xai Xai coastal town to see the sights of Gaza Province and retreat to an eco-beach lodge called Naara Eco beach Lodge that relies on solar energy in the dune forests. This LAM flight leaves Johannesburg in the mornings only twice a week and stops in Maputo, so is a long haul but check with your travel consultant first to check transit times in Maputo.

Air Mozambique (LAM) also has regular flights return between Johannesburg and other Mozambique destinations: Beira via Maputo, Nampula via Maputo, and Pemba via Maputo. Flights to Beira are useful if you want to go and see the magical and mighty Gorongosa National Park for an authentic immersion in one of the best game reserves in Mozambique. 

Book a plane ticket to Nampula International to explore the beautiful coast of Memba By near Nacala and stay in the stunning Nuarro Beach Lodge in its own mind-blowingly beautiful 800-hectare private concession also boasts three kilometres of its own shoreline.  Pemba is home to Diamonds Mequfi Beach Resort so book your flights with us to avoid disappointment. Regular arrivals and departures to Pemba are scheduled for 5 days of the week, just not Tuesdays and Saturdays.

Fly from Kruger National Park to Mozambique

Cheap flights from Kruger National Park to Mozambique go mostly to Maputo, Nampula or Tete. Most tourists prefer to fly between Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport (KMIA) and Maputo which then gives them easy access to the rest of Mozambique, going south to Ponta do Ouro or north to Vilanculos, Inhambane and Nacala. Plan your Kruger-Mozambique bush beach combo package holidays with Mozambique Travel and we can customise your deals to suit your budget and time in superb safari loges and beach resorts! 

KMIA has a great flight schedule with regular lights to Vilanculos sot that tourist can hop on their private transfers to Bazaruto or Benguerra islands to experience the best luxury accommodation in Mozambique. We recommend our favourite bush and beach combo –  a few nights in the famous Kruger National Park region on safari in the fanciful Lion Sands River Lodge and then a few nights at the blissful Azura Benguerra island Lodge for ocean sports and beach walks. Chat to us about our range of safari beach island special deals made for the tourist who wants the best of both worlds, a bit of game viewing and a bit of marine diversity. 

SA Airlink has direct flights to Vilanculos from Johannesburg every day of the week at 11h35 so make sure you plan your beach holiday well in advance to take advantage of this service.  Other SA Airlink flights, according to set flight schedules fly from Johannesburg return to Nampula and Pemba.
