Chimanimani Mountains, Mountain range in Eastern Highlands, Zimbabwe and Mozambique
The Chimanimani Mountains, reaching heights of 2,436 meters at Monte Binga, feature extensive quartzite ridges running north to south along the international border.
The Ndau people established settlements around the Chimanimani Mountains centuries before European colonial powers drew boundaries through the region in the 1890s.
The mountain range spans across Chimanimani District of Zimbabwe's Manicaland Province and Sussundenga District of Mozambique's Manica Province, connecting two distinct communities.
Visitors can explore the protected areas through both Zimbabwe's Chimanimani National Park and Mozambique's Chimanimani National Reserve, which form a transfrontier conservation zone.
The mountains contain seventy plant species found nowhere else on Earth, thriving in diverse ecosystems from grasslands to montane forests above 1,000 meters elevation.
