Nyangani Mountain

Mount Nyangani (originally Mount Inyangani) is Zimbabwe's highest peak, standing at 2,592 meters (8,504 ft). The peak is located within Nyanga National Park in Nyanga District, approximately 110 kilometers (68 miles) north of Mutare. The peak is perched on a small protrusion of granite about 40 meters above the surrounding region. The remainder of the mountain is a large moor of mostly rolling hills and plateaus covering around 8 km2. The plateau's margins then drop steeply to the east and west. The vegetation on the mountain is mostly heath around the summit plateau, with evergreen forest on the wetter eastern slopes and grassland on the western side.

The mountain is made up of an upper sill of dolerite and sandstone, with cliffs and ridges formed by the harder dolerite. The dolerite sill and the sediments beneath it are most likely part of the Umkondo Group. The Umkondo Group dolerite sill on the Kwaraguza Road north of Nyangani has been dated to 1099.
