The Bazaruto Archipelago is almost certainly one of the loveliest areas of Southern Africa. The islands create kilometres of unspoilt beaches begging to be walked along and reefs that just have to be snorkelled. They are surrounded by a warm sea reflecting a rainbow of blues and the laid back island atmosphere that should be soaked up with cocktails as the sun goes down.
A relaxing beach holiday does not get better than this. The area also offers great diving, some of the best game fishing in the world and is a playground for watersport enthusiasts. It's a necklace of five stunningly beautiful islands and peninsulas of sand off the mainland in southern Mozambique about 750 km north of Maputo and is one of the finest seaside holiday destinations in Southern Africa.
It offers Virgin beaches, azure seas palm-fringed shores and a peace and tranquillity you'll never forget. The pansy shell sand is so clean it squeaks under your feet and the air so clear you can see for miles. The reefs virtually unexplored are home to more than 600 species of fish and marine mammal. Among these are scores of species of game fish, humpback whales, dolphins, leatherback, and loggerhead, green and hawksbill turtles, moray eels and dugongs. The archipelago was declared a national park in 1971 and its principal islands are Bazaruto , Margaruque , Benquerra and Santa Carolina.
