Bazaruto Island

Bazaruto Island, the largest island of the Bazaruto Archipelago, lies off the coast of Mozambique, 30 kms from the town of Vilanculos. The archipelago is a national park and supports a host of wildlife both marine, birdlife and animals. 

The east coast of the island faces onto the deep waters of the Mozambique Channel, which is rich in marine life and  attracts big game fishermen looking to catch a pelagic fish and scuba divers wanting to dive the protected coral reefs.

There are currently two lodges on Bazaruto Island situated at extreme opposite ends of the island. An island holiday or a honeymoon would fulfil any dreamers expectation of a  tropical paradise.

Getting to Bazaruto island: fly from Johannesburg or Maputo to Vilanculos then take a short hop flight from Vilanculos to Bazaruto on a small plane. Clearing customs and collecting your luggage is a lesson in overcoming chaos but worth the effort.

Your enduring memory of Bazaruto Island will be  of the bluest warm water.
