Days, 3, 4: Bazaruto Archipelago- Gabriels Lodge, Benguerra Island |
|
The road continues north from here where the coconut trees take up most of the space in this once forgotten country. In-land lakes also make up for the beauty as we make our way up to the Bazaruto Archipelago, where the islands give you a feeling, once only experienced by the explorers of the past. The days are spent in the fresh air on the beaches of Benguera and Bazaruto Islands. Snorkeling off the Dhow (Arab Sailing yacht) on the two mile reef with its many species of fish, and, at times, the Green and Leather- Back Turtles and Manta Rays. Fresh seafood and catch of the day is one of the attractions of this area.
