Mutare District

The city of Mutare is located in the northeastern corner of the district, near the border with Mozambique.

The Bvumba Mountains form a part of the highlands, and rise southeast of Mutare city.

Banti Forest Reserve (22.2 km²) is located south of the Bvumba Range, in the mountains along the Mozambican border.

Most of the district lies in the basin of the Save River, which also forms its southwestern boundary.

[5] The main east-west road from Harare to the Mozambican port of Beira (R5, or A3 in the older numbering system) runs through Mutare district, crossing the international border just east of Mutare city.
