Quelimane (pronounced "Kelly-mane") is a
seaport in
Mozambique, with a population of 153,187 (
1997 census). It is the administrative
capital of the
Zambezia Province and the province's largest city, and stands 25
km from the mouth of the Rio dos Bons Sinais (or "River of the Good Signs"). The river was named when
Vasco da Gama, on his way to
India, reached it and saw "good signs" that he was on the right path. The town was the end point of
David Livingstone's famous west-to-east crossing of south-central Africa in 1856.
