The Vumba is a little piece of land on the eastern mountain range in Zimbabwe bordering Mozambique, where even the misty weather encourages the illusion. These cool green hills shelter country hotels, a casino and golf course at the Leopard Rock Hotel and a Botanical Gardens with one of the best views in Africa. Vumba is Shona name for "mist".

The Vumba Mountains lie approximately 2,5km above the city of Mutare, Zimbabwe and offer exciting and varied birding opportunities. The area is probably best known as one of the main breeding areas of Swynnerton's Robin which lives and breeds in small patches of forest, some on private land, others within the Bunga forest.
