The Bazaruto Archipelago consists of six islands off the coast of Mozambique. These islands are known for their stretches of white sand beaches and beautiful turquoise waters. Beneath the water lies beautiful coral reefs that rare marine animals call home.

A diverse array of animals found only in Bazaruto, like the rare dugong.

Visitors to the Bazaruto Archipelago can partake in a variety of outdoor activities such as scuba diving, fishing, and sailing. To limit environmental damage, visitors must stay in one of the several private lodges on the island. The Bazaruto Archipelago is the perfect Indian Ocean adventure.

Mozambique is a beautiful destination. But, it does require some extra preparation. See what you should make sure is in your luggage:

  • Mosquitoes are a problem in Mozambique and repellent should always be worn, especially after sunset.
  • Extra memory cards and batteries for your camera as these can be difficult to find while traveling.

“Caring service“
“The nurse provided our shot quite painlessly and gave advice on malaria medication for our upcoming trip. She pulled off the state department pages for Madagascar and Mozambique and bound them to add to previous pages given us by another Passport Health professional. It didn’t hurt that she was quite a pretty lady.”
