Mutarazi Falls is the highest waterfall in Zimbabwe, the second highest in Africa (after Tugela Falls in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, which is 948 meters high) and the seventeenth highest in the world. The walk through the shady forest before meandering through the fragrant heather to reach the viewpoint with its spectacular view over the Honde Valley is a pleasant and unforgettable experience.
