• Victoria Falls

    This is one of the wonders of the world and well worth the visit.

  • Gweru Zim

    Principal city of the midlands area, Gweru lies on the main road between Harare and Bulawayo. Antelope Park, where you can walk with lions, is near here.
  • Bulawayo

    This, the second largest city in Zimbabwe, has a strong sense of the colonial yesteryear.
  • Kariba Zim

    An immense man made lake that divides Zimbabwe and Zambia.

HarareZim

The capital city of Zim.


Harare, once known as Salisbury, is the capital of Zimbabwe, home to Robert Mugabe (and his gun wielding henchmen) and a host of African curios that you must bargain hard for or else you’ll be ripped off. It’s an odd combination of the western world and Africa. Psst. If you happen to venture past PM Rob’s house do so in the day - they get a little trigger happy at night and shoot on sight. Yikes... A must is the snake and lion/cheetah park which is about 23km from the city. Check out the 250 year old tortoise which is unbelievably huge and like something out of the Never Ending Story. A great place to camp is the National Park at Lake Chivero, which we thought was great.
