FAQ
Can I see dugongs while diving?
Dugong sightings while diving are rare but possible, particularly in the shallow seagrass beds around the islands. They are more commonly seen during surface intervals or from boats.
How do I get to Bazaruto?
Fly to Vilankulo, then take a boat transfer to the islands (30-60 minutes). Some luxury lodges offer direct charter flights from Maputo or Johannesburg.
Why is the archipelago important for conservation?
Bazaruto Archipelago National Park protects one of the last viable dugong populations in the western Indian Ocean, along with critical turtle nesting habitat and extensive coral reef systems.
When are whale sharks in Guinjata Bay?
Whale sharks are most commonly encountered from October through February, attracted by the plankton-rich waters of the Mozambique Channel.
How does Guinjata compare to Tofo?
Guinjata is quieter and more sheltered than Tofo, with slightly calmer conditions. It shares the same megafauna but with fewer divers and a more relaxed atmosphere.
