| Accommodation - Benguerra Lodge |
Benguerra is the second largest island in the Bazaruto Archipelago, which broke away from the mainland thousands of years ago. The island is approximately 55 square kilometres (11km long x 5.5 km wide), and lies 14km offshore. It is famous for its unspoiled white beaches, remarkable dive sites and excellent fishing (subject to a strict “catch & release” policy). Some of the best scuba diving and snorkelling in the world is available off Benguerra’s shores with the surrounding coral reefs rich in sea life.

There is also a Swimming Pool and small Spa. Indulge yourself in countless hours of relaxation under coconut palms, delight in the diversity of birdlife, visit the historic freshwater lakes (and their crocodiles), sail in a traditional Dhow and search the seas for the legendary dugongs... You can choose to do as much, or as little, as you like. Meals at Benguerra are comprised largely of freshly caught seafood – with delicacies such as prawns, crab and crayfish. Traditional Moçambican cuisine, Portuguese flavours and a variety of delicious dishes make up the daily menus. |

Guest comments:
Perfect, after all our preperations and of course the wedding itself we loved the tranquility of the Villa - for the first couple of days we felt like we were the only people on the island and on the 3rd night wandered along the beach to the main resort to make sure there were other people on the island!! it was a great chance for us to have quality time together...just the two of us and the chef and housekeeper at the villa were great - all in all perfect!
