Benguerra Island is situated 14 kilometres off Mozambique, on the Eastern coast of Africa. Part of the Bazaruto Archipelago, the neighbouring National Marine Park is home to some of the richest and least explored subtropical ecosystems in the Indian Ocean.
Kisawa is a happy pairing of innovation and tradition. We believe in inclusive design and have worked with skilled artisans from Benguerra Island as well as patented 3D printing technology. Decisions have been careful to protect the environment and we have ensured a light footprint on the natural landscape where possible. Our vision has been to blend rather than interrupt.

Led by founder and creative director Nina Flohr, we have made strategic decisions informed by extensive research in creating a positive impact for the people of Mozambique and its natural surroundings.

Working alongside team mate Tomas, Amelia has made a huge impact in our permaculture garden, helping teach the rest of the Kisawa family about thoughtful and sustainable gardening practices.

An instrumental part of the Kisawa team from day one. Querino has worked on every element of integrating our vision to Benguerra Island. Today, he is a senior member of Kisawa.
Gardening
Here since the beginning, Tomas possesses the patience and dedication to ensure all the Kisawa Kitchen fruit and vegetables flourish pesticide free and in bountiful amounts. Leading his team of gardeners, he also takes care of each individual Residence, plus the staff permaculture garden.
General Manager
"I'm excited to be part of this, ‘people first’ team on Benguerra Island. The environment is sublime and the project was integrated with nature from inception. Kisawa is ultra-experiential and together with BCSS offers a unique opportunity where disconnecting and exploring are both possible".
Butler Team
Luvia is a long-time team member and favourite among the guests and fellow Kisawis. A Benguerra Island resident, Luvia is passionate about providing personalised service, displays excellent attention to detail and is always on hand to teach and lead newer members of the team.
Resident Artist
Ismael's work is painted directly on the walls of Kisawa, interspaced throughout the entire sanctuary. His vibrant colours (and often his guitar), animate our island home.
Senior Skipper
One of our most experienced skippers, Alberto ensures the well-being of guests at sea. Having navigated the waters since his childhood (and often at night), Alberto brings significant experience to our daily operations.
From the heart
Today the property is run by a passionate team of 196 Kisawis, with approximately 90% of the operational team from Mozambique and the remainder of the team combining different expertise from around the world.
