 300km
north to south of rugged mountains that form a natural boarder
with Mozambique will definitely inspire you. This is a natural
holiday destination, which will offer you the much sort after
peace of mind, in a quiet and peaceful environment.
The landscape of this region varies greatly between the gentle
rolling countryside of Nyanga to the fierce granite of Chimanimani.
Mutare, the provincial capital of Manicaland, is famed for
its tree — lined streets that are an almost year round
blaze of different colours,from the red-gold of the msasa
trees, to the blue haze of the jacarandas and the deep orange
of the flamboyants. The town offers restaurants, markets,
curio shops, camping sites, fine hotels and budget accommodation
in a beautiful mountainous landscape. Visit the Botanical
Gardens in Bvumba ,tea plantations of Nyanga ,Mount Inyangani
the highest mountain in Zimbabwe and the mountainous region
of Chimanimani.
Nyanga and Chimanimani
North of Mutare is the Nyanga area, with pine forests ideal
for walking or horse trails, and beautiful dams that are a
haven for trout fishermen. Another great golf course at the
Troutbeck Inn makes every golfer's heart beat faster. Mount
Nyangani (2592), the highest mountain of Zimbabwe, can be
conquered on foot while the less-energetic might prefer a
game drive along one of the many scenic routes in the Nyanga
National Park. Both are experiences to savour.
At the southernmost tip of the Eastern Highlands are the
Chimanimani Mountains, immediately recognisable by their sharp
and jagged volcanic peaks. All or part of the exquisite mountain
ranges can be conquered with only a little mountaineering
skill, and they are punctuated with hundreds of enticing rivers`
waterfalls and natural pools to soothe walkers after a long
day's hike.
