Bazaruto Archipelago, Mozambique

Mozambique

A 5-day trip to Bazaruto Archipelago, Mozambique

Towering coastal sand dunes, protected dugong shoals, and barefoot luxury in the Indian Ocean.

Rising out of the Mozambique Channel off the coast of Vilankulos, the five main islands of the Bazaruto Archipelago Marine National Park—Bazaruto, Benguerra, Magaruque, Santa Carolina, and Bangué—comprise Southern Africa's premier marine sanctuary. Known for massive shifting sand dunes that spill directly into coral-rich waters, the archipelago protects the East African coast's last viable population of endangered dugongs. It serves as the ultimate decompression stop after a bush safari in Kruger or Sabi Sands, offering dhow sailing, world-class diving at Two-Mile Reef, and secluded beachfront eco-lodges.
