Weekend getaway: Chimanimani Festival

Last weekend, right after my Bulawayo trip (6h busride), Thomas and me had planned to go to Chimanimani with Caroline and her husband. Chimanimani is in the east of Zimbabwe, about 6h drive from Harare, and they hold an annual festival that has become quite reknowned. Now, we have to admit, though it gives a pleasant vibe to the village, it's definitely no HIFA and we haven't watched that many groups perform. 

However, the scenery here is really splendid, rugged mountains, so plenty of possibilities to go hiking, swim in waterfalls, etc. But as always, it's just really nice to get away from Harare for the weekend, though the fact that this one falls between work related trips to Bulawayo and Kariba makes it a bit less fun...
