Driving through the rugged, fauna rich and misty Bvumba
Mountains is an exhilarating experience. An experience that remains etched in
one’s mind forever.
Rarely is an area so much blessed natural resorts
like Bvumba. The rolling mountain ridges, lush green rainforests, more than 100bird species, unique fauna and an lots of wild game.
The mountain range have a mystic aura about them to
tourists further compounded by nearly all year round misty that envelopes it.
When the misty disperses it leaves breathtaking views which can be enjoyed at
so many points.
One can enjoy a 270 degrees aerial view of border
towns Mutare (Zimbabwe) and Machipanda (Mozambique), Forbes Border Post and the
inviting mountain ridges in the east from natural viewing platforms such as
world famous Prince of Wales View.

The impressive views make one feel like flying,
above the world but the lush green forests and the chattering of birds and
insects remind one that they are still on mother earth.

It is a pity that my Sunday morning drive I met a few tourists in the area. Some lodges have closed down but the few that are still operating still offer excellent services.

Vumba is still a paradise. On my other page Hotels & Lodges I would be posting some of the functional hotels that I visited.
