Chimanimani District
Chimanimani District (part of which was known as Melsetter 1895-1982) is a mountainous district in Manicaland Province of eastern Zimbabwe. The district headquarters is the town of Chimanimani.
The district has an area of 3,450.14 km². It is bounded on the east by Mozambique, on the north and northwest by Mutare District, on the west by Buhera District, and on the south by Chipinge District.
The Chimanimani Mountains extend through the eastern part of the district, stretching for some 50 km (31 mi) and forming the border with Mozambique. The mountains are distinguished by large peaks, carved from a rifted quartzite massif. The highest peak is Monte Binga at 2,436 m (8,005 ft). Chimanimani National Park (171.1 km²) protects the Zimbabwean portion of the range.
The Haroni River runs from north to south in a steep-sided valley west of the Chimanimani massif. It joins the Rusitu River in the southwest corner of the district, which then flows east into Mozambique to join the Buzi River. The village of Chimanimani lies west of the Haroni.
Lower mountains run north and south through the center of the district. The western portion of the district lies in the valley of the Save River and its tributary, the Odzi, which form the district's western boundary.
