Mount Nyangani is the highest mountain in Zimbabwe at 2,592 metres or 8,504 feet. The mountain is located within Nyanga National Park in Nyanga District, about 110 km (68 mi) northwest of Mutare. The summit lies atop a small outcrop of rock around 40 metres or 130 feet above the surrounding area. The remainder of the peak is a broad moor of mainly rolling hills and plateau with an area of about 8 km2. The edges of this plateau then fall steeply to the east and west sides. The mountain vegetation is largely composed of heath around the summit plateau with evergreen forest along the wetter eastern slopes and grassland to the western side. Annual rainfall totals are high but long spells of dry weather occur during the winter period of May to August. Due to its relatively low altitude and tropical location, snow falls very rarely, last recorded in August 1935.
