The Vumba mountains like most of Zimbabwe received record high temperatures in the last week of October 2019.
However this did not deter participants in the Annual Vumba Marathon which took place on Saturday 26th October.

Most hotels and Lodges were fully booked for the Marathon weekend..

The beginning of September brought some early rains to keep the forests green and moist followed by warmer days and nights.

Visitors from mainly Harare in the first week of September kept the Lodge busy at the end of school holidays as were most hotels and cottages in the Vumba area.
