Getting to Inhassoro: By Air and Road

By Air

From Vilankulo, travelers can hire a taxi or rent a car for the drive south to Inhassoro, which typically takes 1.5–2 hours along the EN1 highway and coastal roads.

Another option is Beira Airport (BEW), about 520 km north of Inhassoro. Beira is a larger airport with more frequent domestic connections, but the drive from Beira to Inhassoro takes roughly 7–8 hours, so it is recommended only if Vilankulo flights are unavailable.
