Discover the Majestic Nyachowa Falls

Getting There

• Car

  If you are traveling by car, start from the nearest major town, which is Mutare. From Mutare, take the B162 road heading towards the eastern highlands. Continue on this road for about 40 km until you reach the junction with the B263. Take a right onto the B263 and drive for approximately 20 km. Look out for signs directing you towards Nyachowa Falls. The falls are located approximately 5 km off the main road. You may need to navigate some dirt roads, so a vehicle with good clearance is advisable. Ensure your GPS is set to the coordinates -19.1140625, 32.6894375 for the most accurate directions.

• Public Transportation

  If you are using public transportation, you can take a bus from Mutare to the Eastern Highlands area. Look for buses heading towards Nyanga or Chimanimani. Once you reach the nearest bus stop, you can ask the driver or locals for directions to Nyachowa Falls. Depending on where you disembark, you may need to hire a local taxi or arrange for a lift. The taxi fare will likely be around $5 to $10, depending on the distance. It's best to confirm the fare before starting your journey.

• Walking or Hiking

  After reaching the closest drop-off point by public transport or car, you may need to walk the remaining distance to Nyachowa Falls. If the falls are about 5 km away from the last point of access, prepare for a hike. The trail may not be well-marked, so using a GPS app or maps is helpful. Ensure you wear comfortable hiking shoes, and bring water and snacks for the trek. Be cautious of the terrain, as it can be uneven and slippery, especially during the rainy season.
