Vilankulo...

Hi everyone! I’m in a place called Vilankulo (in Italian it sounds something like “mansion in the ass”! 😄), and like my name, it’s sometimes spelled with a K and sometimes with a C.
From here I’ll be able to visit the Bazaruto Archipelago, maybe tomorrow.

With some effort, I managed to leave Tofo yesterday, even though I would have happily stayed longer, spending my days lazily doing very little. The only special thing I did there was a marine safari, basically going out on a rubber boat to try to see rare fish.
Unfortunately, we didn’t spot the highlight: the whale shark, which is about ten meters long and with which you can actually swim! It’s a vegetarian shark, of course.
Instead, we saw two manta rays, flat fish about three meters wide, diamond-shaped, gliding elegantly almost at the surface. And many dolphins. It wasn’t the first time I had seen them, but never so close and for so long. They almost seemed to move in slow motion, going up and down in the water. We followed them several times, just a few meters from the boat. But every time we tried to get closer, they disappeared into the deep blue.
And finally a hammerhead shark, very curious, swimming alone. We annoyed it for quite a while by circling around it.
