Benguerra Island lies within the famed Bazaruto Archipelago off the coast of Mozambique. The lodge itself is situated on the protected north-west side of the island, enabling you to enjoy an amazing holiday in Mozambique.
Benguerra Island (approx 11km by 5km in extent) was declared a National Park in 1971. It is the centre of the three biggest islands in the Bazaruto Archipelago and while it is famous for its white pristine beaches, much of the body of the island comprise forest, savannah and wetland eco-systems, which sustain a diverse population of flora and fauna. As a legacy of its mainland past, there are also three freshwater lakes, which host freshwater Crocodiles as well as many bird species.
Travelling to Benguerra Island is generally undertaken by air. From Johannesburg O.R. Tambo International Airport it is a 2 hour flight to Vilanculos, though soon international operations from Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport (KMIA) situated near Nelspruit may come into being. This will allow international travellers to experience the best of the Limpopo Transfrontier National Park and to visit the marine environment of the Bazaruto National Park.
It is also possible to fly via Maputo or to drive to this Mozambique beach lodge. Transfers are made to the island from Vilanculos which may consist of a short boat ride or by air to the airstrip on the island.
