Introducing Nyanga National Park
Scenic and secluded Nyanga is also in the Eastern Highlands and located 100km due north of the Bvumba. It is beautiful; in parts like Scotland and Arizona in others, it has Africa’s second-highest waterfall and breathtaking views over the lush Honde Valley, into Mozambique.

Nyanga National Park (admission US$10; 6am-6pm) has its headquarters at Nyanga (Rhodes) Dam. Most people come here to hike on Mt Nyangani (2592m), Zimbabwe’s highest peak, though we’re not talking Kilimanjaro– it takes 1½ to three hours to reach the summit from the car park, 14km east of Nyanga Dam. For something more substantial, a three- to four-day walk continues from Mt Nyangani past Pungwe Drift and into Honde Valley.
Inn on Rupurara (029-3021/4; rupurara@innsof zimbabwe.co.zw; s/d US$110/140 full board incl dinner) is a beautifully appointed hotel comprised of African-style lodges with verandas. Ask for views overlooking the valley to Mt Rupurara (or Bald Man’s Head).
Troutbeck Inn (029-8305; zimsuncro@zimsun.co.zw; s/d US$140/156) is a very English-style inn, with a lake, roaring fires and hearty English food, including high tea. Fish for trout, walk or go shooting. Good for families.
