Pungwe River (Portuguese: Rio Púngoè or Rio Púnguè[5]) is a 400 km (250 mi) long river in Zimbabwe and Mozambique.[3][4] It rises below Mount Nyangani in the Eastern Highlands of Zimbabwe and then flows southeastwards through the Manica and Sofala provinces of Mozambique. The Pungwe enters the Urema Valley, the southernmost portion of the Great Rift Valley, where it forms the southern boundary of Gorongosa National Park. The Urema River joins it, and the river follows the rift valley southward. Large seasonal wetlands form around the Pungwe and Urema rivers in the rift valley section. It empties into the Mozambique Channel at Beira, forming a large estuary.[4] It is one of the major rivers of Mozambique and often causes floods.[3][4]
