About fifteen kilometers north of Domboshawa mountain, lies Ngomakurira. As a friend told us while giving directions, "just go through a few kilometers of really bad potholes and then turn to your right." We surprised even ourselves, finding it right away just a few roads off the beaten path. Ngomakurira, meaning Drums Sounding in Shona, proved to be a gorgeous, steep trek of well marked trails leading to incredibly unique rock art and views of subsistence farming valleys below. Climbing granite faces in mid-day African sun was a HOT challenge resulting in our share of blisters and sore calves. But the skies could not have been bluer, and as every African adventure of ours turns out, the challenge was totally worth it. Meet Ngomakurira:
