Tourist Guide Eastern highlands
The Eastern Highlands are a mountain range in eastern Zimbabwe, forming a natural barrier with the neighbouring nation of Mozambique. Lush with greenery and scenic landscape, this 300 km stretch comprises three mountain groups: Nyanga in the north, Bvumba in the central regions and Chimanimani to the south.
The region has a cooler and wetter climate compared to the rest of Africa. Winter in the Highlands can have temperatures falling below 0°C, especially in June and July. The monsoon extends from November to March, with comfortable travelling possible in the months from May to October.
The total population of the region has not been estimated, as the mountain ranges are mostly uninhabited except for towns like Nyanga and the regional capital of Mutare.
