This is where the crisp mountian air provides natures own air-conditioning, this is the perfect climate in which to fish for trout, play golf, shop for handcrafted artifacts and cast your eye over rolling tea and coffee plantations.

The air is much cooler and often very cold in June and July and encourages year-round burning of log fires in the hotels...

Once you've caught your obligatory trout, remember that you're in the mountains here, so fresh air and lots of outdoor activities are the order of the day.

You have a choice of, amongst others, golf, volley ball, boating, horse riding and scenic walks and trails among the rivers, waterfalls and gorges in the surrounding mountains, which are overshadowed by the Inyangani Mountain, the highest peak in Zimbabwe.
