Bazaruto National Park, Marine national park in Vilanculos and Inhassoro Districts, Mozambique.

Bazaruto National Park is a marine reserve encompassing five main islands with coral reefs, sand dunes, and mangrove forests off the coast of Mozambique. The landscape combines open water with densely vegetated coastal areas and sandy beaches shaped by dunes.

Mozambique's first marine conservation area was created on 25 May 1971 by Legislative Diploma no. 46/71, covering Benguerra, Magaruque and Bangué islands over 80 km², while Bazaruto and Santa Carolina were classed as special surveillance areas. A decree of 27 November 2001 extended the park to all five islands and renamed it Bazaruto Archipelago National Park, 1,430 km². Management passed to African Parks in December 2017, co-managed with the National Administration of Conservation Areas.

Local fishing communities around the park practice traditional methods passed down through generations in specific areas. Visitors can see these customs in the daily work of the fishermen today.

Boats reach the islands from Vilankulo and Inhassoro; the crossing depends on weather and tide, so allow flexibility. The park covers 1,430 km² of ocean and five islands, and only three islands are inhabited. Humpback whales pass in the winter months, while whale sharks are seen between October and April.

The area holds the largest population of dugongs on the East African coast and five sea turtle species. These rare marine mammals are difficult to spot, but their presence makes this a critical refuge for endangered species.
