Places to stay in Chimanimani are limited, and some people find accommodation as far away as Chipinge, or Hot Springs on the Mutare road at the foot of the escarpment. But near to Chimanimani there is a fair amount of choice – from the comfort of Frog & Fern in the village, to pitching your tent in a field near the village green or at Heaven Lodge. See below for contact numbers.

Standard Hotel accommodation in this 1 star hotel. Slightly old-fashioned but has beautiful gardens, a swimming pool and is central to the village. Most of the visiting performers stay here, and you can camp within the hotel grounds for a small fee.
