Chapter I · Inhambane Province · 8 places
Inhambane Province
The Bazaruto Archipelago consists of a chain of barrier islands off the coast of Vilankulo in southern Mozambique, comprising Bazaruto, Benguerra, Magaruque, and Santa Carolina islands. The surrounding marine national park shelters one of the last viable populations of dugong in the Indian Ocean, alongside whale sharks, manta rays, and nesting sea turtles. The islands' tall sand dunes, freshwater lakes, and powder-sand beaches backed by turquoise water represent the archetypal image of Mozambican coastal beauty.

The Quirimbas Archipelago stretches across 250 kilometres of the northern Mozambican coastline, comprising more than 30 coral islands fringed by mangroves and surrounded by reefs of exceptional biodiversity. Ibo Island is the most historically significant, its 18th-century Portuguese colonial fort and crumbling town forming one of the finest examples of Swahili-Portuguese architecture in East Africa. The marine park protects breeding humpback whales and extensive coral gardens.
