Inhambane is a sleepy historic town some 485km north of Maputo. It has some great colonial architecture (in a low-key sort of a way) and is considered by many to be one of the prettiest towns in Mozambique. It is situated on a peninsula overlooking a bay, and also serves as a springboard to the coastal resorts around Tofo beach (some 30km due east, along a reasonably good road).

Get in

By car

From Maputo

Take the EN1 highway north. The road is relatively good up to Xai-Xai (215km north), but then deteriorates rapidly: potholes. Drive slowly, unless you are one of those people who believe that potholes are best tackled at speed, in order to "soar over" them. Inhambane is a further 235km northeast of Xai-Xai. Beware of petrol attendants at stations along the way; they have been known to take advantage of your unfamiliarity with the metical. One trick to watch out for: the attendant starts filling your tank, but then the pump "blocks". He says he must restart the pump but since this will constitute a second transaction, he encourages you to memorise the first sum displayed on the pump's meter. He then restarts the pump from zero, clocking up a second transaction. Once the tank is full he makes a careless arithmetical error in adding up the two amounts. This adding mistake somehow seems to work out in his favour.

Buy

If you are looking for footwear for the beach, the central market has a wider range of flip-flops than the shoe shops in town.

Eat

Budget

Mid-range

The Restaurant Macaroca serves excellent seafood and chicken dishes at reasonable prices.
