Southern Mozambique Travel Guide

you can easily get there prom Maputo, take any bus (from Xiapamane) in a direction to Maxixe or Bilene. Lonely Planet travel book does not explain that very well, Bilene is 35km from the lagoon unlike what the guide book says. The bus (chapas is travelling in this direction more ferquently and it's only 200mz)will take you only to Bilene then you have to find something to Praia do Bilene. It's quite easy, you may also ask for help with this at the place you're staying. I recommend Praia do Sol - http://www.pdsol.co.za/ - they are bit aside from the main road but really great place, with fantastic food and atmposphere.

The origin of Inhambane dates back to the 15th century when Vasco da Gama first landed there. It is a beautiful, picturesque town with many sights to visit, many delightful restaurants, the museum and of course the Mercado (town market). Accommodation is mainly just off Inhambane at the town of Tofu which is a favourite holiday spot for backpackers and surfers, as well as on the famous Barra Reef with its unique holiday resorts. Here you find the well known Barra Lodge. The area offers much in terms of activities such as scuba diving / snorkelling, horse and quadbike riding, dhowtrips and many others.
