MY NYIKA
Oh my Nyika the best place to be
A place for animals to dwell
The beauty lies on its land form
Carpeted with green at winter
Montane grassland on the plateau
Oh what a dainty pleasure it is sipping chateau
Riding on back of horses with HOAS
Gazing at game very near in Nyika
Over the rolling ridges, high rocks, and mountains
Showing the genuine beauty in nature
While a full breeze of wind blowing nicely
A place free from malaria
Sometimes resembles Scottish weather
The mother of all big rivers of the north
The unquenchable catchment area
Rolling ridges making fantastic hiking
Hiking in Mwenembe making an adventure
Whilst roans, zebra and elands are grazing in harmony
Nyika the only place to see sun dew feeding on insects
Kaulime as an oxbow lake
Chisanga falls pouring down the river
Splashes of water making a beautiful rainbow
Zovo chipolo a place for the habitation of many species of birds
Singing their different sweet melodies
Singing soothing songs of liberty
Hyenas and other scavengers feeding on carrion
In a state of cleaning the park
Vultures are flying high in the air
Flapping their wings in a good-bye style
Nyika a place to be never forgotten
Once visited, life long memories
Trees and flowers blossoming, for bees to make the richest Nyika honey
Nyika sometimes you can think its second paradise on earth
Wattle cranes walking in pairs hunting for their prey
Fingira Rock protruding on the midst of the mountains to the South
Nganda overlooking Domwe to the North
Over stretching its left wing touching Thakati view point to the East
Juniper the evergreen forest well renowned in Africa
A great perturbation in nature
Determination is a great asset to visit Nyika
At Nyika, the sky is the limit
Oh my Nyika the best place to be
