History & general info about the Bazaruto Islands
Bazaruto Islands’ history is said to stretch back to the days of the Queen of Sheba – it is said that her pearls were all obtained here. The island served as a base for pearls, ivory and rhino horn to be traded between Asia and the Middle East. The 1700’s brought with them the arrival of the Portuguese throughout Mozambique that has slowly led to the islands progression as a luxury tourism getaway.
