Mavuradonha means ‘Place of Falling Water’ and is a natural environment of great beauty with crystal clear water and fresh mountain air. It’s one of Zimbabwe’s hidden treasures, complete wilderness with protected, remote forestry. Our tranquil getaway site has a stream that flows through the property so you can enjoy the rejuvenating sound of the flowing river. Each of our chalets has a veranda, which is a great place to view the star-filled night sky from and chill out before retiring for the night. The Wilderness Eco-Lodge is perfect for backpackers, as well as families and groups for activities such as Game Viewing, Bird Watching, Community & Traditional Ceremony Visits, Adventurous Walking Safaris, Mountain Hiking, Conferencing and Braais.
