About Morrungulo
Morrungulo, a long-established family run holiday resort, is located on a stunning stretch of unspoiled coastline with an endless vista of curving white sand. Being one of very few lodges where the units and campsites are set right on beach, we offer a unique holiday experience where one can be relaxing in their campsite or chalet and watch kids swim and play on the beach only metres away. Set within a huge grove of coconut and indigenous trees beautifully fringed by a champagne-sparkling clear ocean, Morrungulo provides lawned and well shaded camp sites and chalet facilities that are one of a kind. If you are dreaming of a Robinson Crusoe type getaway this is the place to be with balmy evenings and romantic moon rises, cloudless skies, fresh lobster and beautiful turquoise beaches. A perfect holiday setting for families. Enjoy solitude, peace and relaxation.

It can also be humid and temperatures are around 30 degrees C and upwards.The winter months (May-July) are still warm during the day but generally cooler in the evenings. Winter is very pleasant and a light tracksuit top may be required in the evenings. Sea temperatures vary between 22 degrees C in winter to 29 in summer. There is a risk of malaria along the whole Mozambique coastline.

Many people bring their kayaks, as well as kites and skim boards to use on the flat, wide beaches. There are good waves at high tide so bring your body boards too. We have Kayaks and a stand up paddle board for hire as well as body boards. Ideal for long boards.
