Inhambane Travel Guide

About 500 km north of Maputo, lies the sleepy, historic town od Inhambane, one of the oldest settlements on the East coast. It has some great colonial architecture and is considered by many to be one of the prettiest towns in Mozambique.

Inhambane achitecture

Once the most important port in Mozambique, it still has the largest fleet of working dhows in the country. In the old quarter of town is the 170 year old Cathedral of our Lady of Conception where a rusted (and somewhat scary) ladder leads to the top of the spire, offering grand views of town and harbour.

The main boulevard, directly opposite the ferry port, offers small shops, the central market, some banking services (no travellers cheques) and possibly the best fresh bread in all of Mozambique.

Accomodations in Inhambane are limited as most tourists head east to nerby Tofo.
