Benguerra Lodge
Along the historical Mozambique channel lies
tropical Ilha de Benguerra. It is here that Benguerra Lodge extends
to wayfarers the delights of snorkeling, diving, deep sea fishing
and remote pristine beaches. Sunsets, peace and contentment are
a reality at Benguerra; totally unspoilt; totally unique.
The Lodge
Accessed by air, the luxury thatched Benguerra lodge offers exclusivity
in a tranquil and remote setting. Merged into a natural milkwood
forest bordering Benguerra Bay and encircled by silver beaches,
coral reefs and turquoise seas, the lodge is flanked by 2 Cabanas, 10 Casitas and a private Villa - catering for 28 guests. A mosaic of
forest, savannah and wetland ecosystems sustains a diverse population
of fauna and flora in this idyllic island getaway.
The Accommodation
All rooms have a private view of the ocean. Enjoy the magnificent sunsets and abundant bird life from your wooden deck.
The Cuisine
Freshly caught fish, calamari and crab are tantalisingly prepared
together with exotic Portuguese dishes. Meals are relaxed affairs
served in different settings and always with unsurpassed personal
attention.
The Watersports
Benguerra is a snorkeller and divers paradise. Our fully equipped
diving facility will take you to breathtakingly unspoilt reefs.
In crystal-clear waters, watch the vast array of jewel-like fish
and the extraordinarily shaped corals. For the more adventurous,
there's still the thrill of a night or wreck dive!
The Fishing
All of the fishing takes place from the 22ft custom built walk around catamarans. Powered by twin motors and guided by experienced fishing guides, they provide the ideal platform to target the full range of species in the area. The fishing is varied and exciting from sight fishing to teased Sailfish, plugging for Giant Trevally or casting to surface feeding Bonito. The boats are also ideally suited to fly-fishing, and all of the species can be targeted on the fly-rod, the exception being Marlin.
Saltwater fly fishing - we've all the tackle you need. Our professional
guide will take you out on a customised fly fishing boat. Meander
around the flats, casting for rare bone fish or others.
The Activities
After snorkeling the reef, sail to the deserted Pansy Island,
a unique breeding ground for the legendary pansy shell. Stay for
a while, collecting colourful memories of the multitude of brightly
coloured shells in this exquisite setting.
Sunbathe and picnic in seclusion - we'll set up your own private
picnic and leave you to explore the birdlife along the tideline
and the freshwater lakes or simply comb deserted beaches in solitude
and serenity.
