About the

Take a trip through the Nyanga Mountains, down into the other side called the Honde Valley. Tucked away in this truly captivating corner of the country, you'll stumble upon one of Zimbabwe's best-kept secrets, Aberfoyle Lodge. It is surrounded by undulating tea fields, meandering rivers, majestic mountains, and charming forests. 

Each room at Aberfoyle has it's own name, such as, Kingfisher, African Pitta, etc., and each room has paintings and information inside about the bird that it is named after. Another interesting fact is that there is a family of Palm Nut Vultures that live around Aberfoyle. These vultures are rare for Zimbabwe as usually they are found in coastal locations.

There are a number of activities to do at Aberfoyle that cater to different fitness levels and interests. There is birdwatching, nature trails, golf, boat cruises, hand and foot massages, the tree canopy (zipline) tour operated by Far and Wide, and lastly, the Tea Factory tour, which is only open between September to June each year. 

In addition to the above activities, there is also a pool, a putt-putt course, and a billiard table that was built in Soho, London, in the 1850s. It spent the next hundred years in India and then was shipped to Africa. Once it arrived in Zimbabwe, it was taken to the Honde Valley by donkey carts. There is also a long veranda by the main area with multiple couches to relax on, whilst soaking in the peacefulness.
