We had an excellent experience during our volunteering. Doug and Barbara run a beautiful guesthouse in Chimanimani. They were very flexible and helped us a lot in getting to know the entire area. Their daughter Michele is also wonderful, and together we were able to da fantastic three-day trek. Chimanimani is a small town surrounded by stunning mountains. There are several other hikes in the area, including the spectacular Bridal Veil Falls. We have nothing but words of gratitude. We highly recomend this experience. From now on, they are our family in Zimbabwe. Thank you!
