Inhambane is considered to be relatively safe. Petty crime does occur so take the usual precautions. Keep personal belongings close at hand and don’t walk around alone at night.

Be advised that healthcare and medical facilities in Mozambique are very limited so best to bring your own supply, clearly labelled in clear containers. Carry a prescription or doctor’s note and pack all medication in your hand luggage.

Malaria is highly prevalent throughout Mozambique so consult a doctor on the best medicine for you. This will need to be taken before, during and after your holiday. Vaccines for Typhoid and Hepatitis A are strongly recommended, as you may be exposed to contaminated food and water.

Most facilities do not accept credit cards so have enough cash on hand. Remember to pack insect repellent and sun screen!

If you’re travelling to Inhambane during peak season, be sure to book your accommodation ahead of time as availability may be limited. Whether you’re up for a more casual, backpacking experience or looking to treat yourself to a bit of luxury, there are options to suit your budget.

To get the full beach experience, there are many lodges and resorts right on the beach overlooking the ocean. Imagine opening your door and stepping out onto the sand for a morning swim!

Renting a car is tricky, so your best bet of getting around is by taxi. You can arrange with airport staff for a transfer to the city, but be sure to negotiate a fair price before getting into the taxi.

If you are driving from Maputo, a standard car is fine, although if your lodge is on sand dunes, you may need a 4X4. Driving at night is not recommended.

There are convenience stores where you can buy basic groceries and definitely pop in at your local bakery to try the fresh Pau (Portuguese rolls).
