With so many things to see, it is among Zimbabwe’s Best Resorts. Here you experience the country’s highest point standing at 2595 meters high. The summit of the mountain is over 8 square km. With eye catching landscape and vegetation, it is the ultimate Zimbabwe mountain attraction. With so many gorges and sudden changes in weather it must be advised that it is easy to get lost. There are people who have disappeared for good in the Nyanga Mountains. It takes up to 2 hours to get to the top of the mountain and about 1 hour to climb down.
Guidance and preparation is needed before one ventures up the peaks. The usual problem is sudden loss of visibility due to fog or heavy storms. Moving in thick fog should be avoided as this may lead you to bottomless gorges where you may never be found again. The presence of a Nyanga Mountain Rescue team is a warning of what could happen. You might have heard of myths and mysteries of people disappearing. Its real people have vanished. To avoid this you have to stop if you are caught up in a storm or fog. It clears very quickly in minutes. Every year people come from different countries via Harare City to conquer and survive Nyanga’s challenges.
Does it snow in Zimbabwe? Historical records show that Nyanga used to snow and it last experienced snow in August 1935.
