[3] With an area of 656 km2,[1] the park protects the Mozambican portion of the Chimanimani Mountains, including Monte Binga (2,436 m), Mozambique's highest peak.

The park has a larger buffer zone (1,723 km2),[4] which extends into lower-elevation areas to the south, east, and north, and includes the Moribane, Mpunga, Maronga, and Zomba forest reserves.

[3] The locals preserve the cave paintings, ancient traditions and beliefs, all of which give the park a cultural identity.

The park has several road connections with the north, south and central parts of Mozambique, as well as with Zimbabwe.
