  1. Monte Binga is one of the highest mountains in Mozambique and Zimbabwe's second highest mountain. It's in the Chimanimani Mountains, in the Chimanimani Transfrontier Park in Manica Province, on the boundary between Zimbabwe and Mozambique. It stands at an elevation of 8004 feet (2440 meters) above sea level.


    This summit, which is one of the highest mountains in Mozambique (and the second highest in Zimbabwe), is best reached through Zimbabwe's Chimanimani National Park. It is reported that on clear days, you can see all the way to the Indian Ocean. Chimanimani National Park is normally quiet but the remoteness necessitates self-reliance. There are several routes that lead up the mountain. This is more of a weekend walk than a technical climb; it's a lengthy day for the mountain with some class II trail parts.



    The vistas of Mozambique's plains are stunning. On a clear day, a telescope should be able to see the Indian Ocean from the peak of Binga, which is 190 kilometers away. The peak is situated distant from any settlements.

  2. Mount Namuli is one of the highest mountains in Mozambique and the tallest in the province of Zambezia. Henry Edward O'Neill, the British consul in Mozambique, measured, surveyed, and reported it in 1886 at a height of 2,420 meters (7,940 feet). The Namuli massif is made up of a level plateau with Mount Namuli's granite dome rising above it. The area was formerly covered in tropical rainforest and is now a significant biodiversity hotspot with numerous indigenous animal and plant species.


    The lower slopes are presently mostly used for tea growing, while the intermediate slopes are used for other agricultural purposes, with indigenous forest confined to the upper elevations along watercourse corridors. The ideal camping place is near Mugunha Sede in the steep valley (You can also camp at the Regulos wifes hut complex, she swill cook for you if you provide the food and she get some of it). Although you may have to scrape about for some soil near the summit just below Namuli's Highest point, you can pitch a tent in the level area near the summit just below Namuli's Highest point. The nearest water source is the spring described previously, which is roughly a one-hour walk from the top.

  3. Mount Chiperone is one of the highest mountains in Mozambique. Mount Chiperone rises 50 kilometers south of Malawi's Mount Mulanje range from the surrounding plains. The Central African Plateau includes the lowlands to the north, which are 400–450 meters above sea level.


    The southern plains are lower, with an elevation of 200–350 meters, and run down to the Zambezi River. 35 kilometers to the west is the Shire River valley, which is part of the African Rift Valley system. Above 600 meters, the mountain covers about 100 square kilometers, with 4915 hectares above 800 meters, 2770 hectares above 1000 meters, and only 110 hectares above 1800 meters.


    Mt. Chiperone's plant communities change with elevation and exposure. Below 1000 meters in height, miombo woodland predominates. The majority of the woodland below 800 meters has been destroyed for cultivation, with the remaining woodland concentrated on the northern and western slopes.

    Location: Milange District, Zambézia Province.

    Elevation: 2,054 m
