VISIT AFRICAN PARK BAZARUTO
 

The Bazaruto Archipelago National Park is the first marine reserve to fall under African Parks’ management. In 2017,
the National Administraion of Conservation Areas (ANAC) invited African Parks to manage its oldest national marine park, allowing us to protect this gem inthe Indian Ocean. Declared a protected area in 1971, Bazaruto is made up of five islands, three of which are inhabited by 5,000 people. The archipelago boasts iconic megafauna, including whales, sharks, sailfish, manta rays, dolphins, marlin and nesting marine turtles, as well as the region’s last viable population of dugong. A great way of seeing this park is via a dhow safari, which can be arranged through Sailaway Dhow Safaris.
