Bazaruto Archipeligo- Picture by Jason Risley
A gigantic sand dune in the turquoise blue sea, that’s Ilha de Bazaruto, the largest and most spectacular one of the three islands that make up Archipelago Bazaruto.
If I did the trip again, I would sail out there in a dhow and use its engine to come back. Being on this island is the real experience. From the top of the sand dune the view is spectacular, with differently colored blue waters intercepted by sand bars. You can even make out the other end of the twenty-kilometer long island. Hard to believe, but about 2.000 people live out there. Since money can buy you everything, two very up-market lodges found their way onto Bazaruto. All islands are part of a national park and some locals are employed as rangers, who unfortunately seem untroubled by the trash that some people leave.
