Gorgeous African sunsets, solitude and peace are a reality at Benguerra.  Guests can choose to do as little, or as much, as they want…  Relax on unspoiled and uncrowded beaches or dive the pristine, uncharted depths.  Take a walk through the indigenous forest and enjoy excellent bird watching, or have a castaway picnic on a remote stretch of beach.  Spend hours teasing the fish on fly or indulge in a relaxing aromatherapy massage…  It’s all up to you.

Fishing: Fishing at the Lodge is excellent. Game fish such as King-, Queen- and Spanish Mackerel, Kawakawa, Kingfish, Queenfish and Sailfish can be caught all year round.  Marlin season is November-March.  Our specialty is Saltwater Fly Fishing.  We have a strict “catch and release” policy.

Community: Benguerra Island is part of the Bazaruto Archipelago – which is in a National Marine Park (Moçambique’s first), managed by the National Directorate of Conservation Areas within the Ministry of Tourism and supported by the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) and the Endangered Wildlife Trust (EWT). There is a community of approximately 1,000 people on Benguerra Island and a portion of every park fee goes into Trust for these islanders.  The Lodge works very closely with this Community to protect and preserve this idyllic corner of the world. It is understood that without the goodwill and support of the local Community no management strategy for this area can succeed – hence the establishment of a body representing the interests of the Government, the Community and the private sector.
