Depending on your time of arrival there may be some time to visit Harare.

Day 2 Eastern Highlands

An easy drive of about 4 hours takes you to Nyanga National Park. Nyanga is known for its spectacular views with wonderful names: Worlds View, Honde View, Pungwe View and Mutarazi View. In Nyanga National Parks there is Mount Inyangani: the highest mountain in Zimbabwe, with a fairly easy climb, except when it rains

Day 3 Eastern Highlands Historical

History left its marks in the whole area. There are remnants of early settlers: forts, the so-called pit structures, all quite well documented in the Ziwa museum. Near Rhodes Nyanga Hotel there is another museum, telling the stories of Cecil Rhodes who left part of his legacy in Nyanga.
You would like to have tea and scones at one of the resorts, and warm yourself at the cosy fireplace, or something more challenging: try trout fishing in the crystal waters

Day 4 Chimanimani : A Hikers’ Paradise

Chimanimani is a paradise for hikers and birders it’s a haven of peaks, trails and a haven of culture and people! The views are different than those in Nyanga. This is raw nature. Nothing rolls here, things peak right up to heaven so it seems. Get to explore the  Haroni and Rusitu Forest reserves are worth visiting as well, especially for birders.
