Manica Province

Manica is one of Mozambique's ten provinces. It's a narrow strip on the western side of the country, just south of the curiously positioned Tete Province, which pokes northwest from the main stretch of the Mozambique.

Although not of great interest to travellers, the inland Manica Province and its coastal adjacent Sofala Province are of great strategic and historical importance to Mozambique.

They are connected by the Beira corridor between Mutare in Zimbabwe and the port of Beira on the Indian Ocean, which was important to the Swahili gold trade in medieval times and continues to be important to modern trade.
