Sussundenga Hiking

On Saturday I explored Sussundenga, south of Chimoio past Mt. Zembe, with a friend. We mostly walked around the bustling rural town, checking out the food and clothes markets and the "night life" around the main square. On Saturday we climbed a small mountain (large hill?) near the clothes market. There was a small concrete structure halfway up, and a round structure at the top covered with grass and apparently abandoned.

The summit afforded us great views of the surrounding terrain and Mt. Zembe in the distance. We encountered a Christian group praying and meditating, so we snapped a few photos, quietly ate a snack, and headed back into town to buy a chicken for dinner. You can get a chapa to Sussundenga from the main bus terminal in Chimoio.

This weekend the Manica Hiking Club will take to the trail again, and I plan to pick up a machete for Manica Province´s formidable elephant grass.
