Benguerra Lodge Benguerra Island Mozambique
7 nights
Accommodation
Benguerra Lodge is situated on the paradisiacal Benguerra Island (Bazaruto Archipelago) in the Bazaruto National Park. Sheltered between the island and the mainland, the turquoise blue sea in front of the lodge is warm and calm. The two cabanas, ten casinhas and the family villa are tastefully furnished and, although the ocean is just a few steps away, each has its own small plunge pool.
Meals are fresh, delicious and characterised by a taste of the ocean. Reception is located near the main building, along with a shop, lounge, dining area, bar, large outdoor area for relaxation, and a pool located close to the beach.
Location
The Bazaruto Archipelago is located off the east coast of Mozambique, not far from the town of Vilanculos, which is a two-hour flight from Johannesburg. Guests are expected and greeted on arrival at Vilanculos airport and accompagnied to their 7-min helicopter flight to Benguerra Lodge.
The island is inhabited so guests can watch fishermen sailing their traditional dhows or women picking muscles in the shallow waters at low tide.
Your alternative on the same beach is Azura Lodge

Bazaruto Archipelago
The Bazaruto Archipelago comprises the two main islands Bazaruto and Benguerra, the smaller islands Magaruque and Santa Carolina, and the secondary islands Banque and Shell (Pansy) Island, which are more or less sandbanks.
The islands are situated approximately 10-minutes flying distance from Vilanculos in the south of Mozambique. Vilanculos is a two-hour flight from Johannesburg. A visit to the islands is ideally combined with a safari in Botswana, or anywhere else in southern Africa. The archipelago was declared a national park in 1971. The waters around the islands are full of dolphin. Whale shark and whale visit at certain times of the year and sometimes one of the very rare dugong is spotted. Bazaruto is the largest island and offers some 3-4* hotels. We prefer the second largest island Benguerra Island, where Benguerra Lodge and Azura Lodge offer the best accommodation on the archipelago. On Magaruque and Santa Carolina the existing accommodations fell into disrepair during the civil war.
