Nyanga National Park, nestled in Zimbabwe's Eastern Highlands, epitomizes natural splendor and historical richness. As one of Zimbabwe's earliest national parks, it spans a landscape of lush hills and rivers, featuring the country's highest peak, Mount Nyangani, and its tallest waterfall, Mutarazi Falls. The park's history, dating back to its origins as Rhodes Inyanga National Park, is rich with narratives from the Ziwa civilization to Cecil Rhodes' agricultural ventures, adding layers to its charm.
The park's diverse ecosystems, from montane forests and woodlands to grasslands, play host to unique flora and fauna, including the blue duiker, Samango monkeys, and the endangered Inyangani river frog. Efforts to maintain ecological balance include managing invasive species, showcasing a commitment to conservation.
Nyanga's geography is marked by water bodies and mountains, with archaeological sites adding cultural depth. Accommodations range from self-catering lodges to campsites, catering to various preferences. Activities like hiking, horse riding, and fly fishing are supported by good infrastructure, making Nyanga National Park a comprehensive destination for nature lovers and adventurers alike.
Went there twice, firstly with youths on a tour and secondly for our honeymoon. I loved the natural scenery of the national parks which is so refreshing. Every meter is a wonder on its own. The parks are packed with many features that are amazing and they expose the goodness of God in creating such a beautiful world. It is not only an adventure but also an opportunity to learn.

Wonderful place to be, free from all negative externalities. The national park needs to improve on their road network. My travel spirit was taken away by the poor road network that literally damaged my sedan.

Beautiful scenery with some animals in and around the park. The trout hatchery site was the best part of the park for me. The natural pool always has fresh water.

Beautiful scenic views all round with plenty of unique activities for the outdoor loving families and touring groups. The people are very friendly and welcoming to visitors. Some places however can be inaccessible without a four wheel drive vehicle which is a shame.
