Reasons why you should pick Mutarazi Falls
LOCATION
Mtarazi Falls is just 11.5Kkm from Pungwe Falls, it is
situated in the 2,495 hectares Mutarazi National Park adjacent to the southern
boundary of the Nyanga National Park.
HISTORY
The Mutarazi Falls are also the first area to be declared a
national park as well as a nation, and the park is managed jointly with the
National Park of Nyanga. Mutarazi Falls was thought to be the world's fifth-highest
waterfall until 2002. The Gocta Cataracts waterfall was discovered in 2002,
pushing the Mutarazi Falls to 6th place as the world's highest waterfall. The
length of the two levels drops to over 479 m and, while the waterfall may be
the second-highest in Africa, it is also one of the narrowest with a width of
just 15 m.
ACTIVITIES
Where do I even begin when it comes to activities, there is
so much you can do and just a disclaimer: these activities are not for the weak-hearted.
Rope courses: There are rope courses and different packages for family and those adrenaline junkies. One of the packages includes rope bridges, swings, zip lines, nets, and a lot more fun little challenges.
Giant Swing: In Southern Africa, their Giant Swing is the
only one of its kind. You will have the unforgettable sensation of free-falling
for a few meters, followed by the rush of wind as your pendulum screams until
you can no longer scream.
Skywalk: If you ever dreamed of mid-air walking, then this
is for you. The Sky Walk consists of two bridges, one of which is 30 m above
the lip of the Falls and the other of which is 90 m above the whole of the
Falls. The 2 suspension bridges are built to look like vines above the Falls,
allowing the Mutarazi Falls and its surroundings to have a complete panoramic
view as never before.
Skyline: In the country, the SkyLine is the most beautiful
zip line. You can find yourself soaring through clouds or crystal clear skies
over the 2nd highest waterfall in Africa, depending on the day and weather. At
an average height of 500 m and flying for 400 m at 50-70km / hr. It is
uplifting as well as exhilarating.
Water rafting: In the Honde valley, you can enjoy water
rafting on the Pungwe River. It is situated in the Eastern Highlands of
Zimbabwe. Each travel is very distinct from the next, but both are excellent
experiences. They are all participatory requiring guests to self paddle their
raft down the river under guidance from a professional river guide. Anything
between the Pungwe River has it all, from a fun-filled family day out to an
adrenaline-pumping good non-stop action.
Other activities include; river bugging, kayaking, bird
watching, orienteering, fly fishing, hiking, mountain biking, and camping.
