Eastern highlands Travel Guide

The eastern highlands form a natural barrier between Zimbabwe and Mozambique. Although it's an area that sees relatively few visitors, but the rolling hills are pretty and great for trekking. The area is cooler than most of Zimbabwe, and the winter months, June and July, are often very cold. The rains come between November and March and then wildflowers are at their best.

Sweeping 300 kilometres from Chimanimani in the north, the highlands include the Vumba near the city of Mutare, the Nyanga mountains and the farming area of Cashel.
