Inhambane Town and Market

Located on the southern coast of the country alongside a lengthy estuary, this historic town is definitely worth a visit. Inhambane is a wonderful town to explore; you can wander the streets and appreciate the architecture or soak up the culture of this beautiful Mozambican town. Visiting the Inhambane Town Market is a must; you can find anything from fresh fruits and vegetables to curios, lovely grass baskets and fish at this local shopping spot (best to visit this part in the morning, before the heat sets in). For a true Mozambican experience, rent a dhow from Maxixe to Inhambane to take you across the bay. Once on the other bank you can get a Tuk-tuk to take you around if wandering on foot is not your cup of tea. Summer heat is scorching so remember to take an umbrella or hat.
