Attractions

The capital of Zimbabwe, Harare is a cosmopolitan and culturally vibrant place. The National Gallery here has one of the finest displays of African art in the continent and the Queen Victoria Museum houses fine anthropological exhibits from the area. The busy Mbane Musika market and bus terminal is one of the greatest open-air markets in Africa. Row upon row of goodies, from the mundane to the downright bizarre - fruits, handicrafts, herbal medicine, second-hand electronics, clothing, bat’s wings, witches’ broomsticks.

The Botanical Gardens are the place to try your Ndebele on some authentic African foliage. Visit the traditional village called the Chapungu Kraal-especially during weekends when traditional dances are performed- for skillfully made stone sculpture.
