There's much to discover on and around the Island. On foot or in open land rovers, the choice of how you explore Benguerra Island is entirely up to you...
Diving & Snorkelling
Benguerra is a snorkeller and diver's paradise.
To encourage visitors to enjoy the pristine reefs, a fully equipped dive school with dive master has been set up. There are numerous dive venues available, including the superb Two-Mile Reef.
The most striking aspects of diving the reefs around the island is the sheer unspoilt beauty combined with the variety and abundance of marine life.
Many exotic reef fish abound such as schooling banner fish, moorish idols, butterfly fish, blue striped snappers, barred sweetlips, goldies, trigger fish and hosts of others.

After snorkeling the reef, go to the deserted Pansy Island, a unique breeding ground for the legendary pansy shell. We will set up your own private picnic and leave you to explore the bird life along the tide line and the fresh water lakes or simply comb deserted beaches in solitude and serenity.

Saltwater Flyfishing
Mozambique boasts some of the finest saltwater flyfishing on the continent and the Lodge has experienced, professional guides to accompany fly rodders in one of two specialist boats.
The fly fishing boats are Lowrence equipped (fish finders). Fly fishers can throw a line for an absolute wealth of species. Most commonly encountered are kingfish (including Giant Trevally) king and queen mackerel, kawakawa and springer. Even the much sought-after bonefish is found around the island and is occasionally caught fishing deep. |

Deep Sea Fishing
The Lodge maintains three by 22 foot Acecats boats ready to join battle with the monsters of the deep, including marlin and sailfish.
They are fully equipped with fighting chairs, outriggers, safety equipment, radios and 20lb. fishing rods for four fishermen.
Each boat is hosted by an experienced skipper and ghillie who know the waters intimately. Marlin season is November to March.
A policy of "Catch and Release" is encouraged and all boats have the necessary equipment on board should a marlin or sailfish be tagged and released. |

Bird Watching
Because of the amazing diverse habitats existing on the island - coastal dunes, open grasslands, freshwater lakes, savannah and acacia woodlands - over 125 species of birds, including all the sea birds visit Benguerra. High on the list of the most wanted is the elusive Crab Plover, Olive Bee-eater, Green Coucal and Narina Trogon. |
Dhow Cruises
Sail silently and peacefully in the traditional Dhow with its triangular sail. Glide up to the flamingos or be joined by friendly dolphins. Perhaps catch a glimpse of an elusive dugong, but even if the legendary "mermaid" does not make an appearance, there is always the opportunity to witness one of Africa's marvels - the magnificent sunset.
Picnics
Sunbathe and picnic in seclusion. We'll set up your own private picnic and leave you to explore the tide line or the freshwater lakes or simply comb deserted beaches in solitude and serenity.
