Bazaruto Archipelago

Encyclopedia : B : BA : BAZ : Bazaruto Archipelago


The Bazaruto Archipelago is a group of islands in Mozambique, near the mainland city of Vilankulo. It comprises the islands of Bazaruto, Benguerra, Magaruque, Banque and Santa Carolina.

The islands were formed from sand deposited by the Limpopo River, which has since shifted its course. Tourist attractions include sandy beaches, coral reefs, and opportunities for surfing and fishing. The archipelago became a National Park in 1971.
