Benguerra (Portuguese pronunciation: [bẽˈɡɛʁa]) is the second largest island in the Bazaruto Archipelago of southern Mozambique.

[1] It is famous for its unspoiled white beaches, dive sites, luxury resorts, horseback riding and fishing.

Benguerra Island comprises forest, savannah, freshwater lakes and wetland eco-systems that sustain a diverse population of fauna and flora.

Fresh water crocodiles can be found in the three lakes, bearing testimony to the island's mainland past.

The island, which is home to approximately 140 bird species, was declared a National Park in 1971.
