If you are looking for the ultimate getaway in the Eastern Highlands, with the promise of complete tranquility and spectacular scenery, Musangano Lodge is the ideal location. Visitors soon fall under its spell because of its serene and peaceful atmosphere, charming accommodation, superb cuisine and stunning views, which invite to linger and unwind. Spaced well apart for privacy, our tastefully furnished, comfortable and spacious units are set on the lower slopes of a tree-covered hillside, blending well into the surrounding Miombo mountain woodland. Guests may choose between the larger Lodges for families and friends or smaller Chalets for two or opt for camping at Cuckoo Campground. Our PaMuchakata Restaurant has acquired an enviable reputation for serving delicious food, a blend of Central European and Southern African cooking - the best of the culinary arts of two worlds. Tucked away amidst the magnificent green hills of Africa, Musangano is a mere three hours drive from Harare and half an hour from the border town of Mutare. It is ideally located for exploring the attractions of the Eastern Highlands like the Vumba Mountains, Nyanga National Park and Honde Valley. When you feel like stretching your legs, there are a variety of activities at hand on site and nearby to suit all ages and interests. Furthermore we offer the rare opportunity to organize trips into the neighbouring communities so that the visitor can get a first-hand experience of the lives of Zimbabweans today. Finally - referring to the meaning of Musangano Lodge and our vision of 'the place where people meet' - we would be very happy to welcome you at our little paradise. Yours sincerely, Musangano Lodge Team.

“The new Campsite "Cuckoo" on the ground of the Lodge is ready to use now. Booking under the same contact data as well the Lodge. Campers can use all facilities (restaurant, laundry etc.) and activities of the lodge. It´s a good place on the entrance to the Eastern Highlands region - Mutare, Vumba or on the way to the border Zimbabwe - Mozambique ” -

“Während meiner letzten Reise besuchte ich diese schöne Lodge am Eingangstor zu den Eastern Highlands. Die Lodges und Charlets schmiegen sich weitläufig an einen Berg und bieten einen zauberhaften Fernblick in das Umland. Die geschmackvollen Zimmer sind im afrikanischen Stil eingerichtet und bieten neben Sauberkeit, Funktionalität und Service eine Atmosphäre zum Wohlfühlen. Das zuvorkommende Management und das freundliche Personal stehen für persönliche Belange jederzeit zur Verfügung. Kurze Wanderungen nach dem guten Restaurantbesuch sind auf dem mit einheimischer Flora angelegtem Gelände auf kleinen Wanderwegen möglich. Die gute Lage ermöglicht es einem, Besuche zu den nahe gelegenen Sehenswürdigkeiten zu unternehmen und nach Rückkehr die Vorzüge dieser empfehlenswerten Lodge zu genießen. Leider erfuhr ich zu spät vom sozialen Projekt der Lodge, in welchem man Einblicke und Informationen über das Leben der lokalen Bevölkerung und der Shona Kultur erhält. Das Projekt nennt sich „Nurturing Communities - Shaping Lives“ und bei Interesse können Aktivitäten zu diesem Projekt vom Lodgemanagement organisiert werden. Mehr Infos darüber erhält man auf der Website der Lodge. ” -
