Reasons To
Visit Mozambique

  • Barefoot Luxury

    Accommodation is invariably in small, boutique lodges with privacy and tranquillity guaranteed. Despite offering safari destinations for the purist and some of the finest coastal scenery you could wish for, Mozambique is still blissfully off the beaten track.

    Barefoot Luxury

  • Beaches

    Mozambique's shores are scattered with beautiful beaches, some just small coves that are uncovered with the tides, others endless, deserted stretches of soft pearly sand, speckled with shells. There are few better places to relax with a champagne picnic under the shade of an umbrella during the heat of the midday sun.

  • Diving & Snorkelling

    Mozambique boasts some of the best diving and snorkelling sites in Africa, many of them only recently discovered. There are miles of colourful, untouched coral and a multitude of tropical fish species. Dive sites range from six metre beginner spots to vast coral walls for advanced divers to explore.

  • General Wildlife

    A certain amount of patience and open mindedness is required for a safari in Mozambique, but there is big game present in both the Niassa Wildlife Reserve and the Gorongosa National Park. These are incredibly scenic tracts of wilderness, where guided walks and water based activities complement the game drives superbly.

  • Local Culture

    Ibo Island and Ilha de Mozambique are undoubtedly the jewels in Mozambique’s cultural crown. Both have an evocative collection of colonial ruins that is slowly being brought back to life. Dig below the surface and you will also find much of interest in Pemba, Vilanculos and the small communities living on the Bazaruto and Quirimba islands.

  • Marine Wildlife

    Exploring the waters of Mozambique reveals a wealth of marine life, from moray eels and groupers to parrot fish and reef sharks. Both the Bazaruto and Quirimba Archipelago’s attract nesting turtles at varying times, while there are conservation projects in place in the south to protect the rare, endangered dugong.

Benguerra Lodge

Bazaruto Archipelago

Benguerra Lodge is situated on a white beach on Benguerra Island. Eleven beautiful chalets, two stunning honeymoon suites and one villa are shaded by milkwood trees and overlook the sandy shores.

The chalets are raised on stilts and have a large room with twin beds and muslin nets leading into an en suite bathroom with a spacious hot shower. Each chalet has direct access onto the sandy beach where thick towels are provided for your private thatched sun shade and wooden beach loungers. The wooden decked floors and the reed walls are open sided and have heavy bamboo blinds should you wish to obstruct the splendid views out to sea.

The recently refurbished main lodge has a North African feel and houses a comfortable lounge and bar with wide chairs and colourful cushions. The pretty dining room area leads onto a decking overlooking the garden and meals are often served outside under the trees or on the beach. There is beach bar housed in an old boat for those wanting to be closer to the water. Food at Benguerra is superb, with fresh crayfish and other seafood delicacies often on the menu. There is also a small spa here where guests can book in for relaxing beauty treatments.

Activities at Benguerra are low key. It is a divers and snorkellers paradise with miles of unspoilt coral reefs. It is also possible to sail to Pansy Island although the waters here are getting rather shallow, take deep sea fishing trips, explore the island by open 4WD and have picnics on private beaches and take a sunset cruise across the bay in a dhow.
