Wilderness Landscape & Natural Heritage
Bazaruto Archipelago National Park, located off the coast of Mozambique, encompasses several islands including Bazaruto, Benguerra, Magaruque, Santa Carolina, and Bangue. The park was established to protect the unique marine and island ecosystems characterized by sand dunes, coral reefs, and rich marine biodiversity. It is home to rare species like the dugong and several sea turtle varieties. The park offers a plethora of recreation opportunities such as snorkeling, diving, and deep-sea fishing. Its historical allure is complemented by the presence of traditional dhow boats, and the local communities who have lived in harmony with this marine environment for generations. The vibrant marine life along with the crystalline waters and pristine beaches make it a top tourist destination.
