Inhambane

The entire province of Inhambane is an excellent place for diving; Tofo being the best place of all.  Snorkeling a few meters from sharks, whales, dolphins and mantas is an obligatory activity for whoever visits the region.  Another option that cannot be overlooked is a boat ride to see the whales.  In addition to these activities, long walks along the expanse of beaches and horseback riding among the coconut and cashew trees are also very popular.

In the city of Inhambane, free time can be occupied with visits to the local museum, monuments and cultural places that mark the passing through of various people.

Inhambane is a historic city that is worth the visit. The cities of Maxixe and Quissico are other urban centers to visit for shopping or simply to browse the natural beauty.
