Chimoio

Chimoio is the capital of the Mozambican province of Manica. It is the fifth-largest city in Mozambique with a population of 177,608 (1997 census). Located about 95 km from the Zimbabwean border, it is sometimes described as feeling more Zimbabwean than Mozambican.

The town lies on the railway line from Beira to Harare, near the Cabeça de Velho rock.
