Benguerra Island
Benguerra Island, MozambiqueThis sale is for a 12.5% share in the lodge and island as well as a private 5 bedroom double story house with swimming pool on the island. The house is not for sale seperately and may also not be hired out for gain. There is a landing strip on the island.The lodge is a five star lodge which caters to the rich and famous. Benguerra has a total of 164 species of birds and the small patch of indigenous forest near the north point thrills with their sounds and those of squirrels and monkeys. Tucked away in the forest are the charming wooden chalets of Benguerra Lodge, while further south on the more exposed western side of the island is Marlin Lodge. The island has a rich cultural life with dhows regularly sailing past the northern point of the island dragging nets, or going to nearby reefs. Wake up early and you might see them sharing their catch on the beaches. Two Mile Reef, which lies two miles east of Benguerra, offers the best reef diving in Mozambique with beautiful staghorn corals and tropical fishes from tiny clownfish to moray eels and black-tipped reef sharks. Its large, protected pool, called the Aquarium, is a must for snorkellers. Fishing by lure and by fly is also very popular and the lodges host annual big-game fishing competitions. In Mozambique, fishing is carefully monitored and all catches are tagged and then released. |
