Insider tip — The Nyanga hot springs bubble up in Zimbabwe's Eastern Highlands near the Mozambique border, a cool and green plateau region of pine forests, trout streams, and rolling montane grasslands that feels strikingly different from lowland Zimbabwe. The alkaline mineral water surfaces in a Nyanga National Park setting where klipspringer and bushbuck graze the hillsides above the pools. The springs are best accessed from the Rhodes Nyanga Hotel as a day excursion through the park. Morning mist drifting through the Nyanga Mountains provides a cinematic backdrop for an early dip before the highland sun burns through.
