EASTERN HIGHLANDS TAKES CENTRE STAGE: MUTARE TO HOST SANGANAYI WORLD TRAVEL EXPO Text by Martin Chemhere

The majestic Eastern Highlands of Zimbabwe, a region of unparalleled natural beauty and cultural richness, is set to receive a significant boost as its capital, Mutare, prepares to host the prestigious Sanganayi/Hlanganani World Travel Expo for the first time. This landmark decision by the Zimbabwe Tourism Authority (ZTA) and the Ministry of Tourism and Hospitality Industry is a strategic move to promote and unlock the vast, untapped tourism potential of this verdant eastern frontier.

22

The Eastern Highlands, encompassing the scenic Vumba, Nyanga, and Chimanimani areas, offers a diverse tapestry of attractions that distinguish it from other well-known Zimbabwean destinations.

From the mist-shrouded Bvumba Mountains with their exquisite botanical gardens and panoramic views to the towering peaks of Nyanga, including Mount Nyangani (Zimbabwe’s highest mountain) and the dramatic Mutarazi Falls (Africa’s second-highest waterfall), the region is a hiker’s paradise and an adventurer’s dream.

Chimanimani, further south, beckons with its rugged, pristine wilderness, ideal for serious trekkers and nature enthusiasts seeking an escape into untouched landscapes.

23

Beyond its breathtaking scenery, the Eastern Highlands boasts a rich tapestry of wildlife. Nyanga National Park, the country’s oldest national park, is home to a variety of animals including kudu, klipspringer, reedbuck, blue duiker, and samango monkeys.

The park is also a birding hotspot, with over 300 species recorded, making it a haven for ornithologists.

While large game viewing is more prominent in other parts of Zimbabwe, the Eastern Highlands offers a unique blend of montane and forest ecosystems that support a diverse array of smaller, often endemic, species.

24

25

The region’s cultural heritage is deeply intertwined with its landscape. Visitors can immerse themselves in local customs and traditions, explore ancient archaeological sites, and discover the stories embedded in the mountains and valleys. The warm hospitality of the local communities adds another layer of authenticity to the Eastern Highlands experience, fostering a genuine connection with the land and its people.

Accommodation options in Mutare and the surrounding areas cater to a range of preferences, from luxurious resorts to quaint lodges and guesthouses. In Mutare itself, visitors can find comfortable stays at establishments like the Holiday Inn Mutare, Golden Peacock Villa Hotel, and Gordon’s on 125 First Street. As one ventures into the picturesque Vumba Mountains, the Inn on the Vumba and Leopard Rock Hotel offer exquisite retreats with stunning views and amenities, including the renowned Leopard Rock Golf Course.

Further afield in Nyanga, travellers can choose from the historical Troutbeck Inn, Rhodes Nyanga Hotel, and Pine Tree Inn, all providing access to the national park’s attractions.

These establishments, alongside numerous other charming guesthouses and self-catering cottages, are preparing to welcome delegates and visitors to the Sanganayi/Hlanganani Expo.

Having driven through the beautiful Honde Valley and the Eastern Highlands Tea plantations travellers arrive at what has to be one of the best-kept secrets in Zimbabwe! Aberfoyle Lodge is situated in a very special part of the country. Amongst rolling tea-plantations, rivers, mountains and lovely riparian forest Aberfoyle offers a getaway not to be missed.

A significant advantage of the Eastern Highlands, particularly in promoting sustainable tourism, is the availability of electricity from renewable sources. Nyangani Renewable Energy (NRE), for instance, has developed and operates several run-of-river hydroelectric power schemes on rivers flowing from the Nyangani massif.

These projects, including those in the Honde Valley, contribute significantly to the national grid with clean energy, empowering local communities and reducing the region’s carbon footprint. This commitment to green energy aligns perfectly with global trends in sustainable tourism, making the Eastern Highlands an even more attractive destination for environmentally conscious travellers.

The decision by the ZTA and the Ministry of Tourism to bring Sanganayi/Hlanganani to Mutare is lauded as a visionary step.

For years, the expo has primarily been hosted in Bulawayo and Harare. This rotation strategy allows for focused promotion of diverse provincial attractions, ensuring that the economic benefits of tourism are spread across the country.

“This is an incredible opportunity for the Eastern Highlands to showcase its unique charm to the world,” remarked a spokesperson for the Zimbabwe Tourism Authority. “We believe the raw beauty, rich culture, and sustainable practices, including our commitment to renewable energy, will captivate international buyers and lead to a significant increase in tourist arrivals to this truly ‘World of Wonders’ region.”

The Minister of Tourism and Hospitality Industry also emphasized the strategic importance of this move. “Mutare hosting Sanganayi/ Hlanganani is a clear signal of our dedication to diversify and deepen Zimbabwe’s tourism footprint. It allows us to highlight the unique offerings of the Eastern Highlands – from its incredible wildlife to its vibrant culture and commitment to sustainable development.

We are confident this expo will be a catalyst for growth and investment in the region, bringing tangible benefits to local communities. ” With its dramatic landscapes, diverse wildlife, rich cultural experiences, and a growing emphasis on sustainability powered by renewable energy, the Eastern Highlands is undoubtedly a destination whose time has come. The Sanganayi/Hlanganani World Travel Expo in Mutare promises to be a pivotal event in elevating this hidden gem onto the global tourism stage.

GREAT PLAINS CONSERVATION UNVEILS EXCLUSIVE PRIVATE VILLAS ALONG THE ZAMBEZI RIVER Images by Seolo Africa/ Mpala Jena

Great Plains Conservation is set to elevate luxury safari experiences in Zimbabwe with the highly anticipated opening of the Mpala Jena Private Villas in August 2025. These two, exclusive, three-bedroom villas will be situated five kilometres upstream from the already renowned Mpala Jena, a camp celebrated for its intimate setting on the picturesque, tree-laden banks of the Zambezi River within the sprawling 56,000-hectare Zambezi National Park.

According to Dereck Joubert, CEO of Great Plains Conservation, Mpala Jena and its forthcoming private villas embody the epitome of “Barefoot Luxury.” The architectural team of Craig Hayman and Hannah Charlton, alongside interior designer Tracy Kelly, have meticulously crafted a haven that seamlessly blends with the natural environment.

38

The design ethos combines natural elements, featuring thatched roofs in the main areas and flowing canvas luxury tents for the bedrooms at the existing camp, a style that will be echoed with a refined touch in the new villas. The Zambezi National Park, home to Mpala Jena, offers an unparalleled wildlife viewing experience. Guests can enjoy traditional safari drives, unique Dhow cruises on the Zambezi River, walking trails, or simply observe the abundant wildlife from the comfort of the camp’s swing chairs.

The area is particularly known for higher concentrations of buffalo and elephants between June and October, and boasts a higher density of lions per square kilometre than any other park in Zimbabwe.

The new Mpala Jena Private Villas promise the ultimate in privacy and exclusivity for families or small groups. Each villa will feature its own private main area, a refreshing swimming pool, and three luxurious riverfront suites.

39

Guests will also benefit from the inclusive services of a private butler, a dedicated safari vehicle, and a personal guide, ensuring a bespoke and unforgettable safari adventure.

Maintaining the inherent charm of Mpala Jena, the villas will incorporate elements of the world-renowned Puglia style of architecture and interiors. Under steep thatch roofs, arches and spacious interiors are designed to remain cool during the summer heat and provide a warm, cosy ambiance in winter.

The interiors will be light and airy, adorned with earthy colours and rich textures, promising a soul-soothing stay. Beyond luxury, Mpala Jena operates with a strong commitment to sustainability. The entire camp is powered by a solar plant and battery system, and building materials and design elements were meticulously chosen to minimise embodied energy and transportation miles, reflecting Great Plains Conservation’s dedication to eco-conscious tourism.

Many guests extend their safari experience from Mpala Jena to Great Plains’ sister safari camps in Botswana, or to Tembo Plains Camp and The Zanji Suite at Tembo Plains in their private Sapi Reserve, creating a cohesive and enriching Southern African journey.

Under the visionary leadership of the First Lady as the Patron of Tourism and Hospitality, Zimbabwe’s culinary narrative and culture are gaining significant international recognition. The country is poised to establish a dedicated Gastronomy School, strategically positioning Zimbabwe as a hub of culinary arts in Africa.

Dr. Mnangagwa’s relentless efforts continue to elevate the country’s cuisine on the global stage, with recent highlights including her invitation to present Zimbabwe’s culinary story at the UNESCO Africa Week in France.

These milestones not only reinforce Zimbabwe’s cultural identity but also underscore the growing role of gastronomy in driving tourism development. As global travellers increasingly seek authentic cultural experiences, Zimbabwe’s traditional cuisine is emerging as a compelling attraction, boosting local economies, supporting community livelihoods, and showcasing the nation’s rich heritage to the world. Chef Buzuzu’s win further solidifies this growing reputation, inspiring a new generation of culinary enthusiasts to embrace and elevate Zimbabwean flavours.

MUTORASHANGA’S ENCHANTING GREEN POOLS

48

Nestled approximately within Zimbabwe’s majestic Great Dyke mountain range and just north of the mining town of Mutorashanga, lies a captivating natural wonder: the Mutorashanga Green Pools. These strikingly vibrant pools are a direct legacy of past mining activities in the area, their existence a testament to the geological richness of the Great Dyke.

The water in these pools presents a mesmerizing spectacle, exhibiting an unusual emerald blue-green hue. This distinctive coloration is attributed to the high concentration of dissolved minerals present in the water, a direct consequence of the area’s mining history.

Interestingly, the intense mineral content also inhibits the growth of algae, contributing to the water’s remarkable clarity and unique shade.

The unusual and captivating colour of the Mutorashanga Green Pools has inevitably given rise to local folklore and legends.

Tales of mythical mermaids inhabiting the depths of these emerald waters have been passed down through generations, adding an air of mystery and enchantment to the site.

While no concrete evidence has ever substantiated these claims, the enduring myths continue to intrigue visitors and locals alike, further enhancing the allure of the Green Pools.

Despite their origin as a byproduct of mining, the Mutorashanga Green Pools have evolved into a point of interest, attracting those drawn to their unusual beauty and the surrounding natural landscape.

The stark contrast between the industrial past and the serene, almost otherworldly, appearance of the pools creates a unique and compelling destination within the Great Dyke region of Zimbabwe.

As visitors marvel at the vibrant colours and contemplate the local legends, the Green Pools stand as a fascinating reminder of the interplay between human activity and the enduring power of nature, holding both a historical significance and a captivating mystique.

VICTORIA FALLS ACHIEVES PRESTIGIOUS ‘WETLAND CITY’ STATUS AHEAD OF COP15

62

With the crucial COP15 conference fast approaching, all eyes are turning to Victoria Falls, which recently announced its designation as a “Wetland City” by the Ramsar Convention. This prestigious recognition underscores Victoria Falls’ unwavering dedication to the preservation of its vital wetland ecosystems, placing the city among a select group of only 31 cities worldwide to achieve this status.

The “Wetland City” accreditation is a significant achievement that highlights the city’s commitment to sustainable urban development and the wise use of its wetlands. These critical ecosystems play a crucial role in biodiversity, water purification, flood control, and supporting local livelihoods. By securing this designation, Victoria Falls City demonstrates its proactive approach to environmental stewardship and its alignment withinternational conservation efforts.

This announcement comes at a particularly opportune time as Victoria Falls prepares to host a landmark convention, COP15, from 23 to 31 July. The “Wetland City” status not only elevates the city’s profile on the global stage but also reinforces its credentials as a leader in environmental conservation, providing a fitting backdrop for discussions on critical ecological issues.

The city’s dedication to wetlands preservation will undoubtedly serve as an inspiring example for delegates and attendees at the upcoming conference.

The residents and stakeholders of Victoria Falls City are celebrating this remarkable achievement, recognizing it as a testament to collaborative efforts in safeguarding their natural heritage. As preparations for COP15 intensify, the “Wetland City” designation serves as a powerful reminder of Victoria Falls’ commitment to a sustainable future and its pivotal role in global environmental conservation.

POACHING AND BUSH MEAT TRADE THREATEN

ZIMBABWE’S WILDLIFE AND TOURISM

The Victoria Falls Anti Poaching Unit (VFAPU) recently highlighted the escalating crisis of poaching in their operational area, underscoring the immense pressure faced by wildlife and the dedicated individuals striving to protect it. Their recent address emphasized that safeguarding Zimbabwe’s natural heritage is a collective responsibility, fueled by community support and a shared commitment to conservation.

In a stark assessment of the broader continental challenge, VFAPU also drew attention to the burgeoning bush meat trade, dispelling the notion that it is solely confined to regions like South Africa’s Kruger National Park. They asserted that this illicit industry is rapidly expanding across Africa, including within Victoria Falls itself, posing a significant threat to ecological diversity and the overall health of wild spaces. If left unchecked, this trend carries catastrophic implications for the continent’s invaluable natural heritage.

The economic drivers behind the bush meat trade are alarmingly evident. VFAPU reported encountering instances of entire buffalo carcasses being sold for as little as US$100 for hundreds of kilograms of meat – a price significantly lower than that of legally sourced meat in butcheries. This stark price disparity, coupled with the ease and regularity with which snares can be manufactured and deployed, presents an immense challenge for anti-poaching efforts. The accessibility and low cost of these poaching methods contribute to the daily growth of this destructive practice.

The consequences of unchecked poaching and the expanding bush meat trade are far-reaching, particularly for Zimbabwe and the wider African continent, where wildlife forms the cornerstone of thriving tourism industries. The decimation of animal populations directly impedes the natural growth of wildlife, disrupting delicate ecosystems and reducing the biodiversity that attracts tourists from around the globe. Iconic species, crucial for maintaining ecological balance and tourism appeal, are increasingly vulnerable to poaching syndicates driven by profit.

64

The decline in wildlife numbers translates directly into a diminished tourism product. Tourists are drawn to Africa by the promise of encountering diverse and abundant wildlife in their natural habitats. As poaching erodes these populations, the allure of African safaris and wildlife viewing experiences diminishes, leading to decreased tourist arrivals and significant economic losses for communities and nations reliant on tourism revenue. This not only impacts national GDP but also jeopardizes livelihoods linked to the tourism value chain, including those in hospitality, tour operations, and local crafts.

VFAPU’s sobering assessment also highlighted a critical disparity: the resources allocated to combatting poaching are not increasing at the same rate as the escalating threat. This resource limitation severely hampers the effectiveness of anti-poaching units and other conservation efforts, leaving vast areas vulnerable to illegal activities.

The appeal from VFAPU for increased support underscores the urgent need for greater investment in anti-poaching initiatives, including enhanced funding, improved technology, and increased boots on the ground.

Addressing the poaching scourge and the bush meat trade requires a multi-faceted approach involving strengthened law enforcement, community engagement, education, and addressing the underlying socio-economic factors that drive these illegal activities. Without a concerted and adequately resourced effort, the continued decimation of Africa’s wildlife will not only lead to irreversible ecological damage but will also severely undermine the potential for sustainable economic growth through tourism, jeopardizing the natural heritage for future generations.
