Bazaruto and Benguerra are particularly known for their beaches, diving, fishing and horse riding facilities, forests, fresh water lakes, wetlands, savannah and crocodiles. Benguerra Lodge is a renowned divers habitat.

The island of Magruque is privately owned and the other three are apparently unoccupied with little infrastructure, but certainly worth a visit for their natural unspoilt beauty. Bazaruto Island has the major infrastructure with five Resort type Lodges – all very expensive. Across on the mainland are a number of resorts and more affordable lodges.

To the north lie the Quirimbas Archipelago of 32 undeveloped coral islands and the renowned Seychelles group, 480-1,600km off the East Coast of African/Indian Ocean.
