Nyanga is a natural lure for the nature-lovers.
Sublime relaxation await the nature-lover at Nyanga which is in
the beautiful Eastern Highlands of Zimbabwe, what with its
majestic granite peaks, verdant valleys, prolific birdlife, trout fishing
and fine golf courses. It is also the birthplace of rivers and cascades.
Adding to the attractions are leisurely walks over hill and dale,
hikes along mountain paths with each bend opening up to another
magnificent vista, horse and pony trekking and of course, the deeply
satisfying enjoyment of trout fishing in the crystal clear streams and
bubbling brooks.
This narrow sliver of high country at altitudes up to 6 000 feet which
sweeps along glorious mountain ranges on Zimbabwe's eastern border
with Mozambique, is ideal for those who want to relax and enjoy
crisp mountain air.
Its peace inducing capabilities are second to none.
This view at Troutbeck Inn in Nyanga is a paradise for nature-lovers,
with its stunning combination of a lavishly green mountain, lush
forests with exotic plants and a breathtaking water spot which has a
carpet-like green lawn at its banks. This you will agree with me is
nature at its best.
Mutarazi Falls, the second tallest waterfall in Africa. It
plunges some 762 metres into deep-forested gorges, where rock
pools abound and beckon.
The top of the Falls is a camp site. If you love this photograph
then seeing the Falls in reality will make you gasp in awe.
The second drop of Mutarazi Falls which plunges gracefully into
the Honde Valley. The area around the falls is a small National
Park. Looking at it makes me sing the song, "What a wonderful
world ," by Rod Stewart.
This looks like heaven on earth to me, what more can I say, this
most beautiful place has made me speechless with its beauty.
You can view and experience it at the Blue Swallow Lodges at
Troutbeck Inn in Nyanga.
A magnificent view of the Pungwe Falls which is 243metres high
and which flows down into the Honde Valley.
Susurumba Mountain is not only a lovely scenic place to view, it
is yours to climb if you are into mountain climbing.
A spectacular view across the Udu Dam with flat topped, thorny,
Umbrella (Acacia) trees at the banks of the river and a beautiful
mountain in the background. Such is the beauty of nature in
Nyanga.
Sunset over the Udu Dam which is situated on the road to
Inyangombe Falls, close to the main Inyanga road.
This is beautiful.
The upper end of the Mare Dam, which is a trout fishing spot with
Mount Inyangani the highest mountain in Zimbabwe in the
background.
This is a private cottage in Nyanga which is far from the madding
crowd and surrounded by nature in the form of granite kopjes and
fir trees, with little dams on mountain streams on the other side.
Natural savanna trees can be viewed across the Mare dam and their
reflection in the water make a sight that seems to be out of this
world.
The Inyangombe swimming pool which has an unused low level
bridge above it and is situated in the Inyanga National Park, is a
popular picnic spot. The pool has a pleasant beach and picnic
area, with clean, invigoratingly cold mountain
stream water to swim in.
If you know beauty when you see it then you will agree with me
that this is it, in fact this is more than beautiful, it is splendid
beauty. Its all yours to view and experience if you book into
those lovely Blue Swallow lodges at Troutbeck Inn.
For those who do fishing, Nyanga Lake is waiting for your fish baits
hooked on your fishing rods.
