10 days London to London [FB]

A unique, African island paradise, Benguerra is the epitome of barefoot luxury. The rich East African/Arabic feel of this small, intimate lodge is highlighted by the decor, and the unique and delectable food, comprised largely of freshly caught seafood. The two Honeymoon Suites (each with it's own private deck and Jacuzzi) and the eleven private en-suite chalets merge naturally into the surrounding indigenous forest and are only a moment's walk from the gorgeous sandy half-moon beach of Benguerra Bay.

For the energetic and adventurous, the lodge offers kayaking, windsurfing and hobiecat sailing; there is a fully equipped dive centre and access to some of the most pristine reefs in the world. There are numerous dive-venues available, including the well-known Two-Mile Reef, where ample opportunities exist to see many pelagics and to view untouched corals. Alternatively there's the thrill of a night or wreck dive.

Indulge yourself in countless hours of relaxation, delight in the diversity of birdlife (more than 150 species), visit the historic freshwater lakes (and their crocodiles), visit Bazaruto Island and climb a sand dune, sail in a traditional Dhow and search the seas for the legendary dugongs...
