Bazaruto Island is a big sand dune on the east side of the Bazaruto archipelago of islands and reefs. The entire area is a nature reserve. To reach the anchorage on west side we must pass a narrow channel between 2 reefs. The dunes protect against high winds except northwestherlies. When we go ashore some guys welcome us with a big smile at their local bar. We get to know eachother at a beer, easy as they speak good English, besides Portugese.
Bazaruto Island and its people: such a beautifull unspoiled place, is this paradise? There is indeed an island west of Bazaruto with that name….Here we, people from the western world, can learn again what we lost long ago: honesty, living in harmony with nature, respect for eachother and unconditional hospitality.
