My team and I embarked on a road trip to the Eastern Highlands, eager to experience the King’s Courtyard Boutique Hotel in the Vumba Mountains. The drive from Mutare was smooth, with well-maintained roads and clear signage.

Although the journey typically takes 18 minutes, we extended it to savor the scenic beauty. We paused at the Prince of Wales Viewpoint, which offers a panoramic view of the Forbes Border Post and glimpses into Mozambique. Local artisans there sell exquisite carvings and curios, adding richness to the natural splendor.
