Rupisi Hot Springs is one of Zimbabwe's finest natural hot spring destinations, located near Chipinge in Manicaland's lush eastern highlands, where chloride-rich water at around 60°C emerges from the ancient granite basement in a beautifully forested gorge setting. The springs have been developed into a simple resort with rock pools, and the site is particularly popular with visitors exploring the nearby Gonarezhou National Park and the tea estates of the Chipinge Highlands. The combination of natural thermal water, eastern Zimbabwe's exceptional greenery, and proximity to one of Africa's great wilderness parks makes Rupisi one of the continent's most appealing natural spa destinations.

Insider tip — Allow at least 2 hours to fully enjoy the saline waters of Rupise hot springs.
