Inhambane Province beckons from the southern coast of Mozambique. Spend endless days on pristine white-sand beaches, dipping into the warm cerulean sea for a swim or to snorkel the waters that teem with sealife. The coastline is punctuated by tranquil villages, with Tofo Beach and Inhambane town the busiest. In season, take an ocean safari to get close to whale sharks, humpback whales, dolphins, turtles and manta rays. Up the coast is Vilankulo (or Vilanculos), the gateway to the magnificent Bazaruto Archipelago and just a one-hour flight from Johannesburg.
