Bazaruto Top Experiences

1. Go Diving and Fishing

Bazaruto's protected waters host an abundance of marine life, from tiny florescent reef fish to trophy-sized billfish.

Add to this the deep reds, vibrant yellows and electric pinks of unbleached coral; gin-clear conditions; pods of dolphin; huge turtles and the rare dugong, and it's easy to understand why the Bazaruto Archipelago is world renowned for scuba-diving.

The game fishing is also spectacular, with an abundance of king mackerel, giant trevally, queenfish and yellowfin tuna, as well as black marlin and sailfish.

2. Relax After a Safari

After early starts and morning game drives in the African bush; spend a few leisurely days sleeping in, or swaying in a hammock with a good book in one hand, and a cocktail in the other.

From southern Kruger National Park or Sabi Sands Private Reserve, it's just an hour and a half's flight to Vilanculos, so you can easily hop from bush to beach.

3. Ride Into the Sunset

Explore island forests, ride along the crests of sand dunes, go for a gallop on wide sandy beaches, or take a cooling dip in the ocean. Horse riding on a tropical island is the stuff that childhood dreams are made of.

Both Indigo Bay Resort (on Bazaruto Island) and Benguerra Lodge (on Benguerra Island) have horses, so you and your loved one can saddle up and ride into the sunset.

4. Feast on Fresh Seafood

Sitting at a table on the beach, toes wriggling in the sand, tucking into a huge crayfish washed down with crisp white wine or a chilled Laurentina ... Bazaruto offers the ultimate in dining hedonism.

These islands are well known for delicious seafood dishes which include grilled prawns, tender calamari, crayfish barbecued on the beach, and lightly spiced crab curry. Delicious!

5. Enjoy a Family Beach Holiday

Sunny skies, soft sand and a calm ocean to bob about in - no one should miss out on a trip to a tropical island.

For an unforgettable family holiday, we'd highly recommend Indigo Bay, which has plenty of fun activities like horse-riding, dune-boarding, windsurfing and water-skiing.

However, it's not all about the kids - there's also a fantastic spa, excellent fishing and diving, and an endless beach, so you can find a quiet stretch of sand all to yourself.
