Quelimane

Overview

Quelimane (pronounced kelly-monney) is reached by air from Maputo on a one hour flight on LAM. The airport is small, and the roads are fair.

The town is a typical small tropical town, with a mixture of old colonial Portugese buildings and newer shanties.

Situated on the river banks, the main industry is prawn fishing.

There is a great beach about 20 minutes drive to the East - the back sand road through the coconut plantations is the best.
