Mutare
Mutare is situated
in the mountains of the Eastern Highlands about 100km from Nyanga,
and is possibly the most beautiful city in Zimbabwe. It is strategically
placed on the border with Mozambique and is the centre for timber,
tea, coffee, fruits and horticultural industries. Manufacturing
companies in the city produce cardboard, newsprint, glass, textiles,
processed food, confectionary and assembled vehicles.
The town of
about 75,000 inhabitants has fully serviced residential, commercial
and industrial areas and is the gateway to tourism areas such
as Chimanimani, Vumba and Nyanga.

About half
an hour's drive from this town are the misty mountains of Vumba
which holds many beautiful tourist spots as well as the internationally
acclaimed Leopard Rock which boasts a championship golf course.
Forests, rippling streams and the peace and quiet of these mountains
make Vumba a favourite tourist destination.

As well as being a tourist destination,
Vumba has many farms on which coffee, tobacco and fruits are grown
to name a few. Crops like coffee favour the terrain and high rainfall
of the Vumba.
