The perfect getaway

Benguerua beach

Favorite thing: The islands are the perfect getaway, totally untouched by tourism, no high rise blocks, just a handful of wooden huts along the beach. When I was there, there were hardly any other tourists at all on the island and so it was the perfext getaway. The 2 accomodations run on a generator which often breaks down so you have no electricity or water(as the water is pumped from the lake which uses the generator) giving a sense of real isolation. The best thing to do is wash in the sea! The water is crystal clear and the islands are surrounded by reefs meaning there are no waves so the water just laps up to your feet. There are inhabitants on the interior of the islands and a walk through these tiny villages gives an interesting insight into how these people live.

Favorite thing: Pelican Airways require you to use soft luggage with a maximum of 20kg inside.
They are strict on this as they use light aircraft.

 We flew from Kruger airport into Vilanculous, a wonderfully basic airport where arrangements are made almost at time of arrival, for transfers to the islands in a light aircraft....an even lighter one...
