Inhambane Trips & Tours

Walk along Tofo’s sweeping beaches, dive amongst manta rays and dugong, and explore the sleepy town.

With more than a millennium of history under its belt, the waterside town of Inhambane is one of the oldest in Mozambique. Part colonial relic, with its jumble of eccentric Portuguese and Arabic architecture; part European seaside resort, thanks to its café-lined streets and Mediterranean climate, the sleepy town is also unmistakably African and totally charming. When you’ve finished wandering the streets, the beautiful bay offers up several surprises, from waters filled with manta rays and rare dugong to secluded sandy beaches and wild coves. On the other side of the peninsula, behind the coconut groves and cashew fields, you’ll find superb diving at honeymoon favourite Barra, and sweeping, story-book beaches at Tofo.

Things to do

What to do in Inhambane

Arriving in seaside Inhambane is like entering a different world, where things move at the pace of a gentle bicycle ride - and there will be ample chance for those amongst the coconut groves and cashew fields. One of the oldest towns in Mozambique, Inhambane is characterised by its history, evident in the architecture and cuisine. Make a beeline for the beach for a day of sunbathing, dune exploring, paddling in the surf, or kayaking at low tide. Off the coast, there is a collection of incredible dive sites, alive with tropical marine life and megafauna like manta rays, dugong and whale sharks. Between June and October, there’s a good chance of seeing humpback whales on an ocean safari too.
