Fauna/Flora

Apart from some antelope species, there is hardly any big deer at Nyanga National Park. Those who come to Nyanga are delighted by the scenery of small lakes and mountain streams, or dare to climb the highest mountain of Zimbabwe, Mount Nyangani. Especially popular is the area for fishermen (flyfish on various trout species). Experts can kayak the Pungwe Gorge, a class IV to V section of the Pungwe on the edge of the Nyanga National Park.

Accomodation

In the area there are numerous hotels of various price classes, often in Old English style. We can also book for you very nicely located self-catering lodges of the national park authority.

Food

All hotels offer half board and full board. When self-catering, you bring your food from Mutare or Harare - but a reduced product range is also available in Juliasdale.

Car

The park can be quite well traveled by car. During rainy seasio, driving conditions on rough roads can become difficult.

Fuel

There is a petrol station at Juliasdale. However, you avoid surprises when you drive into this area with the fuel tank filled up at Mutare.
