TANGERINAS DE INHAMBANE
Mention Inhambane province to a Mozambican, and chances are they will say something about tangerinas de In-
hambane . In season, you'll see bushel baskets of tangerines lining the roadsides, piled to overflowing. The fruit
has even made it into local pop culture through the poem, As saborosas tanjarinas d'Inhambane, written by
renowned Mozambican poet José Craveirinha.

Boat
Small motorised passenger boats operate from sunrise to sundown between Inhambane
and Maxixe (Mtc10, 25 minutes). The pier on the Maxixe side is just across the N1 from
the main bus stand. Sailing dhows do the trip more slowly for Mtc5, and one of Inham-
bane's great morning sights is sitting on the jetty and watching them load up. It's also pos-
sible to charter a motorboat (about Mtc200, 10 minutes).
