City

Songo

Eastern Africa

Songo is a town in Tete Province, five kilometres east of the Cahora Bassa Dam. It was established in 1969 as a settlement for the workers who built the dam, was raised to town status on 6 July 1972, and had 36,523 inhabitants in 2007. Songo Airport is near the town, and the town still depends on Cahora Bassa. The English Wikipedia article gives no coordinates for Songo, so no elevation could be looked up for it. Like the rest of Mozambique, Songo keeps Central Africa Time, which is two hours ahead of UTC all year.
