The Bazaruto Archipelago is one of the best places in the Indian Ocean to encounter sea turtles, with five species calling these waters home 🐢

Here’s what to look out for:

1. Green Sea Turtle – the most common nester, often spotted grazing in seagrass beds

2. Loggerhead Turtle – frequently nesting on Benguerra’s beaches

3. Hawksbill Turtle – critically endangered, but often seen around coral reefs

4. Leatherback Turtle – the giants of the turtle world, occasionally passing through these waters

5. Olive Ridley Turtle – the rarest here, but known to forage in the marine park

Watching one of these ancient mariners glide past while diving or snorkeling is an unforgettable experience!

Which turtle would you be most excited to spot? 👇
