Bazaruto Archipelago Islands

The Bazaruto Archipelago is made up of a cluster of five tropical islands; Bazaruto Island, Benguerra, Magaruque, Santa Carolina, and tiny little Bangue, which is so small that it hardly ever appears on maps.

Benguerra and Bazaruto have luxury accommodation, where you can kick back and be pampered, as the humdrum of everyday life quickly becomes a distant memory.

You can't stay on the other islands, but you can sail across and find a deserted stretch of soft sand for a private picnic lunch.

On the short flight from Vilanculos to the islands of Benguerra or Bazaruto, you pass over the calming turquoise of the Indian Ocean, stained a deeper blue by hidden coral reefs holding the promise of world-class scuba diving.

Inland you can explore tall, silky sand dunes, freshwater lakes and mangrove forest, but most people tend to stick to the beaches and, if they have a bit of energy to burn, try some of the great activities on offer.

It's difficult to write about Bazaruto without lapsing into cliches, because these islands really do have everything you could possibly wish for in a tropical island holiday; endless beaches, warm sea, coral reefs, incredible marine life and even the occasional swaying palm.
