Discover Paradise
on Bazaruto Island
Embark on an enchanting journey to the Bazaruto Archipelago, a hidden gem just off the coast of Mozambique. This cluster of five idyllic tropical islands, fringed with powdery beaches and surrounded by the warm waters of the Indian Ocean, offers a serene escape from the bustling world. The Bazaruto islands are easily accessible from Vilanculos, a quaint seaside town on the Mozambique coast, known as the gateway to this pristine paradise and just a two-hour flight from Johannesburg.
Benguerra Island and Bazaruto Island, the two largest islands of the archipelago, are the most developed for tourists, featuring a handful of small boutique lodges. Bazaruto Island, surrounded by a pristine marine reserve, offers some of the world’s best snorkelling and scuba diving around Two Mile Reef.
A holiday on one of these islands should definitely include some form of water sport. Whether you choose to scuba dive, snorkel, or explore the spectacular world beneath the waves, you won’t be disappointed. You can also enjoy sailing trips, big game fishing, horseback riding along the shore, or learning to windsurf.
