Lumene Falls: Beautiful Sight to your Eyes & Rhythm to your Ears

 Lumene Falls is a little-known but magnificent tourist destination nestled away in the Umzingwane area, and tourists will be treated to a beautiful view as the sun is engulfed by two adjoining mountains as it gradually recedes towards the horizon, casting a golden light.

Zimbabwe is undeniably endowed with numerous natural and man-made riches, which continue to draw throngs of both domestic and foreign tourists.The enormous Victoria Falls on the Zambezi River, the Eastern highlands, and glorious Zimbabwe are just a few of the tourist attractions that spring to mind. Most people think of Victorian Falls or Nyachowa Falls in Vumba, Manicaland, when they think of waterfalls as a tourist destination.

Lumene Falls, on the other hand, is a lesser-known attraction. A lovely cascading waterfall that flows from an underground spring is a tourist attraction in Bezha hamlet, Umzingwane District. 


Lumene Falls


Mountain bikers, students on educational trips, travelers, and cultural tourists are among the visitors to the falls, however numbers have decreased because of the Covid-19 epidemic.

Lumene Falls is a wonderful natural marvel with several rocks cropping with rocks of many shapes and sizes, set in stunning mountain and woodland settings. It's strategically placed near Bulawayo, and the Bulawayo-Beitbridge Road branches off at Mtshabezi Dam. Along the Mawabeni-Mt-shabezi road, there is a 20-kilometer duty road that leads to Lumene Falls.

Lumene Falls is located inside the boundaries of Mtshabezi Dam, a popular fishing spot. Locals have transformed the area into a community-based tourism attraction, with visitors paying a low admission charge of $2 per person.

The road is in a terrible shape and difficult to handle due to the continuous heavy rainfall recorded around the country. The 2km path to the location is difficult terrain that only off-road vehicles can navigate.   


Lumene Falls is one of several rock pools here where everyone enjoys swimming. The entire region is enclosed on one side by woods and on the other by a waterfall. You must ascend the stones and descend from there. The entire journey is really enjoyable, and it is one of the most popular summer camping destinations. After taking a bath here, you may relax in the forest. The view of the waterfall from the mountain will provide you with a great deal of pleasure. Around Lumene Falls, there is a 35-kilometer-long green belt where you may witness a variety of plants and wildlife.

Jozef Behr is amazed with Zimbabwe Textile and handicraft Industries

For a very long time, Zimbabwean art and crafts have been a significant and complex component of the nation's cultural legacy. Many individuals have job options because of the country's arts and crafts industry, particularly in rural regions. A fabric manufact u rer, Jozef Be h r , says “t he strong sense of originality and distinct style that Zimbabweans have developed and incorporated into both secular and sacred things has increased demand for Zimbabwean art throughout the globe ” .     As per Jozef Behr’s experience “ arts and crafts are a great method to protect the cultural history of the past ” . The nation, which was formerly inhabited by bushmen, has around 15000 locations where you may see old cave paintings, including cliff faces and cave walls. To exhibit Zimbabwe's historic art and craft, several objects from that era have been conserved in museums around the nation, including bags, blankets, headdresses, fertility symbols, and many more.   Jista Print:    T

The Chipangali Wildlife Orphanage: An Initiative to Give a Home to Wild Animals

We often see or hear news that woods are being cut off, somewhere fire outbreaks in the forest, and because of that many wild animals are being made homeless. This disastrous news reached every ear but not every heart, but Mr. Vivian Wilson, ex-game ranger, and his wife paddy initiated a step to build a shelter home for the orphaned, abandoned and sick wild animals. This initiation led them to build the Chipangali Wildlife Orphanage for wild animals. I, Jozef Behr, took a tour of this orphanage and was amazed to see the hard work of all the volunteers here.     This wildlife orphanage is in southern Africa located in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe. When you visit this place, you will see hundreds of species combining birds, mammals, and of course carnivores. A tourist goes through the mammal enclosures to the left of the entryway. The Barry Wilson Aviary, dedicated to the late son of Chipangali founders, is located to the right. Flamingos, peacocks, eagles, owls, and other sorts of birds live in t
