Main outing to Mazoe Botanical Reserve
Sunday 20th July 2025:- Main outing to Mazoe Botanical Reserve at Christon Bank
Directions: Take the Mazowe Road out of Harare turning right to Christon Bank about 22.5 km from Harare. Follow the tarred road right down ignoring all the various turn-offs to right or left. Continue to the end of the tar (± 9 km) and park in the parking area on the right (labelled the Botanical Reserve).
We will park at MyTrees ($2 entry fee may be needed) for a 9.30 start, but will head north across the small stream towards Split Rock and walk back up the small valley west of the view point. Don’t worry, no climbing is involved and the walk is shorter and flatter than walking down to the Mazowe River and back.
Christon Bank is an area of rocky hillsides and Brachystegia boehmii dominated woodland with fantastic views. Don’t forget the sunblock, and make the most of the day by bringing a chair, lunch, and cooler bag.
You do not have to be a member to join us for the day.
