About Bazaruto Archipelago

Along the historical Moçambician channel, opposite Vilanculos on the mainland, lie a chain of five islands; Bazaruto, Benguerra, Maraque, Banque and Santa Carolina. These islands make up the Bazaruto Archipelago and also form part of the Bazaruto National Park.

These islands offer a tranquil holiday destination where you relax on endless palm-fringed beaches and observe an astounding variety of marine life while snorkelling or scuba diving in azure waters between coral reefs. Yes, this is paradise! The Bazaruto Archipelago offers Big Game Fishing on a world class level.

The best time for Marlin fishing is from mid September to the end of December while April to August is perfect for sailfish fishing. Smaller game fish such as King Mackerel, Bonito, Travelli, and Queen Mackerel can be caught all year round. "Tag and Release" fishing is the usual policy.

Approximately 164 interesting bird species have been identified and confirmed on the Bazaruto islands in habitats varying from the coastal dunes, open grasslands and fresh water lakes, making Bazaruto Archipelago a birding haven.
