The Highlands are in complete contrast to the hotter, dustier, lowlands and the area gives a
matchless sense of freedom to roam where you please by foot, horse, mountain bike or

vehicle. The Southern Highlands of Mufindi is at an altitude of around 6700ft resulting in a
cool temperate climate not generally expected in Africa. The countryside is spectacularly

undulating ending abruptly at the 2000ft rift valley escarpment. The area has stunning
scenery, dark thick montane rainforests and pristine tea estates interlaced with lakes, rivers

and streams. A perfect break from the heat and dust between safaris.
