What you will see
Gurúè is outside the path of totality, so the Sun is never fully covered. At the peak, 13:19:58 local time, the Moon hides 1.9% of the Sun. The partial eclipse starts at 12:52:42 and ends at 13:46:17, 54 min later.
At the peak the Sun is 48° above the horizon, towards the north-west, so you want a clear view in that direction from Gurúè.

Seeing totality
The nearest edge of the path of totality is about 3,088 km north-east of Gurúè.
The nearest place on this site with at least a minute of totality is Bandarbeyla, about 3,166 km north-east, where totality lasts 2 m 11 s.
Totality is shortest at the edges of the path and longest along the centre line, so the further inside you go, the longer it lasts.
