Bazaruto Archipelago

Mozambique is Africa’s undiscovered jewel – and its new rising star – proudly boasting 1500 miles of exquisite undeveloped coastline and some of the best diving in the world. It is a melting pot of cultures and exotic influences, from early North African and Arab traders to Portuguese colonists, all of whom have left their mark.

The pristine coral reefs which line the Bazaruto Archipelago in the south boast some of the world’s most impressive marine life. The 5 islands of the Bazaruto Archipelago – Bazaruto itself, Benguerra, Magaruque, Santa Carolina and Bangué – all have their own unique charm and character, offering everything from diving and snorkelling to dhow sailing and deep-sea fishing. These islands are best accessed via Vilanculos, Mozambique’s ‘mainland hopping-off point’.
