Benguerra Island

Benguerra Island, Mozambique

Romance Redefined

Situated on the second largest island in the sunny Bazaruto Archipelago off the coast of Mozambique, &Beyond Benguerra Island Lodge is set in a protected marine conservation area and offers pristine beaches and unspoiled coral reefs teeming with marine life.

Looking out onto a sandy beach and set on a deep lagoon unaffected by the tides, this exclusive beach getaway is surrounded by premier diving sites, a gateway to an underwater wonderland for divers, with a rich variety of tropical fish species complemented by Africa’s only population of the rare dugong. The deep Mozambique Channel, which runs alongside the island, is where you can try your hand at some of the world’s best catch-and-release deep sea fishing and fly fishing opportunities, whilst the interior of the island is a lush patchwork of forests, wetlands and fresh water lakes ideally explored on horseback.  Island expeditions will uncover traditional culture at the local village, indulgent treatments are on offer in the massage sala and there is no better way to end your day than with a cocktail in the Dhow Bar.

Accommodation is in light and airy casinhas and cabanas with a distinct nod to both Africa and the Mozambican coastline’s Portuguese heritage. These generously sized guest rooms peep out from among the boughs of a tropical forest, offering private views onto the beach.  For a truly unforgettable beach holiday, filled to the brim with various adventures, be sure to keep &Beyond Benguerra Island at the top of your list.

Thank you for putting together the ancestral adventure of a lifetime. I cannot speak highly enough of the trip. The transfers went smoothly, the accommodation was excellent, the drivers were amazing as they manoeuvred through the traffic and every tour guide had a great deal of knowledge and information. Nothing was too much trouble for them. The contrast of poverty and riches of the country was striking, from the beggars in the street and struggles of the poor to the spectacular, impressive sights of the forts and monuments. There were so many highlights. A moment in time that will never happen again.

Exellent and wonderful, reaching way above expectations.

We wanted the opportunity to see as many wildlife parks as possible and the Classic Safari Company provided an action-packed itinerary that included six, with 11 tiger sightings and nine leopard. This was overlaid with an introduction to Jaisalmer, Jaipur and the 'real' India. Pench and Panna were the hidden gems of a really great trip, very well organised, seamless and enjoyable. As a solo traveller I felt incredibly safe at all times. I want to go back!

Mark Taylor

Julia you did a fantastic job - everything was first class. Well organised, efficient and stress free. We all agreed it was the best holiday we've ever had. Cant wait to travel with CSC again.

The trip exceeded my expectations and was the best family holiday I have ever had. Our children simply loved it and now I know more about African wildlife than they do about our own farm animals.
