"The island of Benguerra is everything you want from an escape, from the climate to the beaches to the picturesque hillsides and dunes. And Kisawa Sanctuary is everything you need from a resort: a thoroughly sustainable operation whose aesthetics combine modern construction methods and traditional crafts alike." - The MICHELIN Guide UK Editorial Team
"Located on Mozambique’s southernmost beach, Kisawa Sanctuary is a collection of 17 thatched-roof bungalows built sustainably using 3-D printing technology. (The textured walls are made of sand mixed with seawater to create eco-conscious mortar.) When not snorkeling with sharks or watching sea turtles nesting in the white sand, guests can participate in scientific studies at sister center BCSS with such hands-on activities as monitoring migrating humpback whales or going on diving excursions to test water acidification levels or to help tag pelagic fish." - Kathryn Romeyn
"Kisawa Sanctuary is a resort known for its marine-conservation efforts and strong ties to the local community. The couple's stay included funding scientific research for the area's marine reserve, observing endangered mammals, and enjoying local experiences like a picnic on a sand dune at sunset and interacting with staff at the Baracca beach bar."
"Part of a marine reserve off the coast of Mozambique, Benguerra is everything you want from an island escape, from the mild climate to the sandy beaches and the tall, picturesque dunes." - MICHELIN Guide
"Supports scientific research through the Bazaruto Center for Scientific Studies."
