Nhamatanda

Sofala, Mozambique

Why visit Nhamatanda?

Nhamatanda is the seat of Nhamatanda District, on the Beira Corridor in central Sofala Province, bordering Gorongosa District to the north and Dondo District to the east. It sits on the EN6 highway toward Chimoio and the Zimbabwe border, and travellers heading to Gorongosa National Park typically fuel up here before continuing to the Inchope junction and north on the EN1 — Nhamatanda is one of the closest reliable fuel stops to the park. The town itself serves as a market centre for the surrounding farming communities.
