The Nyanga region has long been regarded as a place of great natural beauty. In 1896, Cecil John Rhodes wrote to his agent: "Dear McDonald, Inyanga is much finer than you described.....Before it is all gone, buy me quickly up to 100,000 acres (400 km2), and be sure to take in the Pungwe Falls. I would like to try sheep and apple growing."
Mount Nyangani, the highest mountain in Zimbabwe, lies about 20 kilometres (12 mi), southeast of the town. Its highest peak rises to approximately 2,600 metres (8,500 ft), above sea level. Nyanga is primarily a tourist town and is a popular tourist destination with its fishing,golf courses, mountain hikes and holiday resorts. The Mtarazi Falls, inside Nyanga National Park, are the highest waterfalls in the country, cascading about 760 metres (2,490 ft), from top to bottom. The surrounding areas also contain many Stone Age and Iron Age archaeological remains such as pit structures, stone forts, terraces and pathways. Inside the town is the bustling township of Nyamhuka, around which there is an ever expanding growth of high and medium density housing. Nyanga is also host to the largest army training camp in Zimbabwe, hosting recruits from across Africa.
The Museum at Rhodes Hotel part of which was Cecil John Rhodes' homestead has items of furniture used by Rhodes himself. The museum gives an insight into the colonial lifestyle of his time.
General Interest: Nyanga is where much of Zimbabwe's deciduous fruit is grown. A number of lovely orchards are still operating where peaches, plums, apricots, apples and pears are grown - fruit can be bought at roadside stalls. Should you visit some of the inns and hotels the chances are you would see beautiful flower arrangements featuring proteas. These flowers grow wild in Nyanga, but they are also cultivated, while azaleas fuchsias and hydrangeas thrive wherever they are planted.
The National Park and surrounding area is seriously threatened by the rapid invasion of alien species of trees. The entire community is encouraged to participate in the ICA's "Going Green" initiative to clear Wattle and Pines where they are encroaching on indigenous woodland. Spring colours of indigenous Msasa trees range from lime green to dark red - when they clothe a mountainside the view is a feast for the eyes and manna to the soul.
For anglers wanting to fish in the National Park, licenses may be obtained from the National Parks Office. You could expect to catch rainbow, brook and brown trout.
