Bazaruto Archipelago
The beautiful and renowned Bazaruto Archipelago consists of a string of four islands off the south-central Mozambican coast some 15-25km north of Vilanculos.
Ultimate beach destination combining well with South / East Africa. Stunning coast & islands offering turquoise seas & pristine white beaches.
Located on the south-eastern coast of Africa, Mozambique boasts an incredibly diverse and scenic landscape.
It combines 2,400km of coastline, replete with idyllic palm-lined beaches, tropical islands, crumbling forts, delicious seafood and world-class diving that is virtually unrivalled with unspoilt bush, unique wildlife and an enchanting history and culture.
Our main focus is on the beach holiday options on the islands which are split into two archipelagos:
Bazaruto Archipelago or Quirimbas Archipelago
Maputo, Mozambique’s capital city, lies in the very far south and is a bustling and attractive port. A feast for the senses with its vibrant street life and superb seafood.
The main access to Mozambique is through Maputo and Vilanculos, with international flight connections from/to South Africa, and Pemba, with direct flights from Dar es Salaam in Tanzania.
The beautiful and renowned Bazaruto Archipelago consists of a string of four islands off the south-central Mozambican coast some 15-25km north of Vilanculos.
The mainland coast from Maputo south is a more lively coastline than many of the islands sheltered within the archipelegos as you head north.
The idyllic islands that comprise the Quirimbas Archipelago stretch for 250 km along the northern Mozambican coastline, from the historic port of Pemba in the south, to the town of Palma in the north.
We had an amazing family holiday (2 kids aged 10) and the service and recommendations from S&B were fantastic. Local Masai Wanderings guide (Clement) was brilliant, knowledgeable and friendly and a real joy to travel with. Everything went very smoothly which was a testament to the organisation by S&B. Many thanks to Nick and the team, we will be back!
When you book a holiday like this you know it’s going to be early starts and early nights, and on the go Inbetween. It is the most rewarding experience, and the mix of luxury and tented accommodation makes you appreciate both, the consistent is the level of service from all staff, and their inherent friendliness was an added bonus.
I am just back from Tanzania and wanted to thank you very much for a fantastic itinerary. I loved all the accommodation choices made, all the connecting flights worked well and the guide was superb. I had a great time and let me know if you want to get some more feedback on any of the properties suggested by you and also Pongwe Beach which excellent.
We had the BEST time! I have been struggling to put into words how amazing our honeymoon actually was. By the time we got to Selous Riverside Safari Camp it was after lunch so we’d missed the afternoon trip but we went on the river safari late afternoon which was brilliant, could only be discribed as breathtaking for our first few sightings.
