Hiking Mt Inyangani

Mt Nyangani, Zimbabwe’s highest mountain, dominates the horizon. This was taken from the same spot as the starscape but facing further south. The weather was not as warm as it looks.

This gigantic mountain stretches up to 2592m in height, its peak is a 1-3 hour climb trekking from any of the 4 base-entry points for anyone of average fitness. One of the things you will find true about it, is the promise of a challenging climb to remember to for mountain hikers and bikers. Mt. Nyangani’s vegetation is composed of heath covering its summit plateau, a dense grassland on the western side and an ever-green forest along the damper eastern slopes.Mount Nyangani is about 110 km north west Mutare.

*Interesting Fact – the mountain is a source of 3 rivers, two of which are tributaries to the Mazowe River which feeds into the Mighty Zambezi River.
