Main roads in the three beautiful mountain ranges are smooth, scenic and wonderfully traffic-free. North of Mutare, the elegant provincial capital, the wooded Nyanga range is patched with emerald green tea estates and the sparkle of waterfalls. Nyangani is the highest mountain in Zimbabwe (2593 meters) and the alpine air is ideal for hill walking, fishing and riding, with golf at the luxurious Nyanga hotels. South of Mutare, the Bvumba gardens are a rewarding visit with spectacular views into Mozambique and an ideally sited hotel.
The Chimanimani range offers rugged walks, waterfalls and pools with pure mountain air and spring water. Further south are the immensely tall indigenous trees of the low- altitude rainforest.
