Nhamatanda is a town in the Sofala Province of Mozambique. It is the administrative center of Nhamatanda District. It lies along the Beira Corridor between Harare in Zimbabwe and Beira, Mozambique's second-largest city. It was largely destroyed by Cyclone Idai in March 2019.
== Name == Nhamatanda has had many names. Early in its history, it was known as "Bambu Crick". In the local dialect of Chisena, this means "Mr. Crick" - a reference to a British landowner in the area. English-speakers, however, referred to the place as "Bamboo Creek", a reference to a small river near the town. Which name came first is unknown, and many residents of the area refer variously to these different stories.
