Mozambique - Indigo Bay Lodge, Bazaruto Islands | Mozambique | Benguerra and Bazaruto Islands

Fly direct from Johannesburg to Vilanculos and then continue by boat or air to the lodge. It is hard to imagine somewhere more romantic or ‘Robinson Crusoe’ than the Benguerra Islands. Indigo Bay Lodge on Bazaruto islands is ideal for those who prefer slightly more of a resort feel. As well as snorkelling, diving, sport fishing and sunset cruises, you can also enjoy water-skiing, dune-boarding, horse riding, nature trails and guided island drives. Complimentary watersports include kayaks, windsurfers and Hobiecat sailing. Three, four, seven or ten night packages can be easily combined with a South African safari or holiday. We can also arrange well-priced private charters from the Sabi Sands private game reserves if you are a party of four or more people.

Day 1 : Flight from Johannesburg
Fly from Johannesburg to Vilanculos at mid morning. Transfer to Indigo Bay Lodge by boat (30 mins) or air. It is hard to imagine somewhere more romantic or ?Robinson Crusoe? than the Benguerra Islands: white sandy beaches, lush vegetation and an azure blue sea for swimming amongst the rich coral life. The protected reefs surrounding the islands support dolphin, dugong, game fish and giant lobster. The shallow, crystal-clear waters offer spectacular safe snorkelling protected by the dazzling soft coral reefs. You float above starfish, anemones, seahorses and a bewildering range of jewel-like fish, which extend out to the many dive sites where you also encounter green turtles, manta ray, sailfish and a variety of docile sharks. Experience the exhilaration of big game fishing, fighting marlin (between October and March) as well as barracuda, kingfish, tuna and sailfish amongst others. This truly memorable trip is available for enthusiast and first-time fisherman alike as you are helped every step of the way. Bird-watchers will not be disappointed with over 125 species recorded including the rare Crab plover, Olive Bee-eater, Green Coucal, Narina Trogan and Paradise flycatchers. Above all, there are no people! If you want a cosmopolitan bustling resort experience, these islands are not for you.
