ROYAL destination

Islands

Royal Ngala's Islands escape to the warm Indian Ocean shores of Mozambique, where powder-white beaches, swaying palms and protected marine parks create the perfect end to any safari. Just a short hop from the Kruger and other great game reserves, Mozambique's Bazaruto and Benguerra archipelagos pair effortlessly with the bush for the ultimate beach and safari combination. Snorkel and dive vibrant coral reefs, sail a traditional dhow at sunset, cast for game fish or simply unwind on a deserted shore. With luxurious beach lodges and barefoot sophistication, these island sanctuaries offer adventure and pure relaxation in equal measure. The best time to visit is May to November, during the dry season when the seas are calm and the diving is at its finest.
