Why Mutorashanga Green Pools Should Be Your Next Weekend Adventure

Looking for an Instagram-worthy, off-the-beaten-path destination in Zimbabwe? Say hello to Mutorashanga Green Pools — an old quarry turned natural wonder just 100km from Harare.

What Are the Green Pools?

Originally a limestone mine, this abandoned quarry filled with spring water over the years, creating a stunning turquoise-blue swimming hole surrounded by white cliffs and lush vegetation.


What Makes It Special?

  • Natural Beauty: The water is so clear it reflects the sky like a mirror.

  • Adventure-Ready: Swim, cliff jump (carefully), or just sunbathe on the rocks.

  • Picnic Heaven: Ideal for couples, families, and groups. Bring your own braai gear or snacks.

  • Photogenic: A dream for content creators and photographers.

How to Get There

  • About 1.5 to 2 hours from Harare, depending on road conditions.

  • Directions: Take the Harare–Chinhoyi road, turn off at Mutorashanga turnoff.

  • 4x4 recommended for final stretch during the rainy season.


Things to Keep in Mind

  • No lifeguards — swim at your own risk.

  • There are no formal restrooms or shops — come prepared.

  • Leave no litter — help keep it clean.


Mutorashanga Green Pools is a natural treasure, and a perfect weekend adventure. Whether you're diving in or lounging by the water, it's a slice of paradise hidden in plain sight.
