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.

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.
