The first half of the year has slipped by quickly. It is
now winter in Moçambique, but still an excellent time to
visit. The weather on Benguerra Island is very pleasant
and guests can look forward to warm sunny days with
temperatures ranging between 25 & 30ºC, and hardly any
rain. The lodge was busy in May, with many pre- & post
Indaba visitors, who were treated to our unique blend of
Benguerra hospitality. The personal atmosphere of the
lodge, combined with the warm friendly staff and great
location was what impressed most. The spacious Casitas
and being spoilt by your own personal butler was also
considered a special treat. |

On one Sunday during these visits it was soccer time on the
island – Benguerra Lodge versus the Local Island team. We joined
other spectators to support our players, and in between the
adult action, the children had their own little match imitating
the adults, to great pleasure of the crowd.
Graham Pollard, one of our resident fly fishing guides, caught
his first Sailfish of the season in June – the picture of the
proud fisherman is herewith. The catch and release of all
species is encouraged at Benguerra Lodge and Sailfish is one of
the species also tagged for research purposes.

Come, take a walk around the lodge:
The photographers from Virtual Tours visited the lodge
at the beginning of May to update our Virtual 360° tour
on the website. All the new spins are now live on
www.benguerra.co.za Please log on and have a look. The
tours are an excellent tool if you would like to quickly
show your prospective guests what the lodge looks like.
If you are interested in linking the virtual tour to
your own website, please let us know and we will gladly
