What are the Great Zimbabwe Ruins?
Why was this once-mighty citadel abandoned?
Running along the border with Mozambique (for a spectacular 300 kilometres no less!), Zimbabwe’s Eastern Highlands are the stuff of dreams. Rolling hills are carpeted in green, lush forests, rugged peaks rise up from swirling mists and waterfalls cascade into deep gorges, rivers and lakes. The highlands are really three different areas - the lolloping tea plantations of the Nyanga (alongside Zimbabwe’s highest mountain, Mount Nyangani), the granite turrets of the Chimanimani Mountains, and the green meadows and coffee bushes of the Byumba range – and each has its owns quirks and charms. It is, however, safe to say that this is an area in which to celebrate the joy of being outdoors and with everything from gentle strolls to epic mountain climbs, bike rides and adventures on horseback, it’s not hard to do.
