Burma Valley, ZimbabweBurma Valley is a low lying area on the border between Zimbabwe and Mozambique, located next to the Bvumba hills. Passing on the main tarred road from Mutare the road leads through the mountains, reaching communal farm lands of Chigodora and then passes down into Burma Valley. The valley is hot and fertile and was exploited by white colonists for use as tobacco and fruit growing land. There are still a number of large commercial farms in the valley. During the independence war, a tarred road was built from Mutare into the valley for the easy movement of Rhodesian forces, who were helping to protect the farmers of the area. More recently, some of the commercial farm land in the area has been re-allocated as part of the government's controversial land reform programme.
