Chimanimani town has a few other options to explore – there is a local golf course (well maintained), horseriding and excellent walking options to take in the scenery from a number of angles. Bridal Veil falls is 5 km’s from town centre – the Falls also have on site camping facilities and ablutions, all in good order.

At Outward Bound you can enjoy the beautiful Tessas Pools – a great venue for an afternoon swim and relax in a tropical paradise.

The Chimanimani Mountains offer some wonderful day-walking and overnight camping options – access to the mountains are through the National Parks office located approx 20 km’s from Chimanimani town. Access to the entrance is via dirt road and a vehcle with decent clearance is recommended. Local guides are available to take you to some of the more scenic places and I highly recommend spending a night in one of the many inhabitable caves dotted throughout the inner park area.

Accomodation in Chimanimani is limited to the hotel (35 rooms) and a couple of lodges and private residences. There are excellent camping facilities at the hotel and at Heaven Lodge and Bridal Veil Falls – all have good ablution facilities.

So, take your time to have a good look around Chimanimani – its worth the effort and  “good for the soul” – see you  there.
