About

World's View is a lookout high on the Nyanga escarpment, looked after by the National Trust of Zimbabwe, with a small gallery of paintings of local flowers. It suits anyone touring the Eastern Highlands by car who wants a big view without a long hike.

It is rated 4.6 from over 600 Google reviews, and the view is what people come back to. Visitors say it is best on a clear day, when you can see far across the Eastern Highlands, and one suggests timing a visit for sunset. Another traveller, who came up via the World's View Drive, called it the highest point in Zimbabwe you can reach by car.

The road up is the main thing to plan for. One visitor describes it as rugged and recommends a high-clearance vehicle. Another asks for better control of the litter other visitors leave behind. One reviewer who enjoyed the visit felt the displays give too little credit to the local people and chief who looked after the area before the trust, and would like to see more about local involvement.

“Phantastic point of interest and the highest point in Zimbabwe you can reach with a car. We took the "Worlds View Drive" to get here. Fee is: USD 3 p.P. more than fair. Such a nice place with great views”
