Excellent service, fabulous location and great style
Reading the history of Benguerra makes you appreciate this beautiful place all the more. The lodge was established by a small group of pioneering Zimbabweans and South Africans at the tail-end of the 1980s as Mozambique was collectively picking itself off the floor and dusting down after thirty years of war. They wanted to re-create the Mozambique fishing holidays of their youth while preserving the natural resources of the island and, in the process, provide jobs for the local people (none of whom had earned an income for 15 years).
A couple of decades on, and the once rustic little lodge has bloomed into a fine specimen of first world service and style in a paradise-island setting. Although slickly run and beautifully turned-out, it hasn't lost its original charm that comes will being the oldest of the handful of lodges now scattered on this archipelago.
Whether you opt for a romantic Cabana or a decadent Cassita, it is unlikely that you will leave Benguerra feeling anything but weak at the knees with relaxation. That said, with fishing, horse riding, sea kayaking, catamaran cruises and a host of other stuff to keep you out of mischief, you ain't going to be bored.
