Mutare- Travel Tips

What to See, How to Plan & Tours

Mutare, the capital of Manicaland Province, is Zimbabwe's easternmost city, located near the border with Mozambique. Established in 1897, it has long been a key trade hub due to its proximity to Beira, Mozambique's main port. The city is surrounded by the scenic Eastern Highlands, with attractions such as Murahwa Hill, Cecil Kopje, and the Mutare Museum. Historically, Mutare played a role in regional trade routes dating back to the late African Iron Age. Today, it remains a center for commerce, timber processing, and transport, with rail and road links connecting it to Harare and beyond.
