Zimbabwe is the most beautiful and most safe country to visit in Africa. It boasts of the majestic Victoria Falls, diverse wildlife, the medieval ruins of Great Zimbabwe and the vivacious city of Harare. Though the months of May to October are the most comfortable ones for the tourists but for sightseeing and watching the blooming landscapes, the best time to visit Zimbabwe is from November to April.
At the Victoria Falls, the tourists can enjoy white-water rafting, kayaking, microlighting, parachuting, horse-riding, cycling and the world's highest bungee jumping. The other national parks are ideal for hiking, sailing, house-boating and long-distance canoeing. Zimbabwe also bags the honour of being the world's least expensive and least crowded golfing venues.
Harare with its huge population, skyscraper buildings and the commercial activities, is one of the most important tourist destinations in Zimbabwe. The Harare as a tourist destination offers many tourist places in its fold like the National Gallery of Zimbabwe revealing the art, material culture, colonial and post-colonial painting and sculpture of Zimbabwe. Harare Gardens in the city is the largest park with a live band show on the weekends. The largest market in the city - Mbare Musika and the granite hill Kopje are other tourist places in Harare.
The Great Zimbabwe National Monument is not to be missed by any of the tourists as it is the greatest medieval city with the ancient buildings and structures in sub-Saharan Africa which provides evidence that ancient Africa reached a level of civilisation much before than the predictions done by the archaeologists. Hwange National Park known for spotting giraffe and zebras; Matobo National Park with the largest population of black eagles and the only habitat of both black and white rhino, and Mana Pools National Park are the other tourist attractions in Zimbabwe. Mt. Selinda is a classic tourist spot for exploring the coffee plantations and forest reserves on hilly terrains. Tengenenge Farm offers you a relaxing and exciting stroll in its sculpture gardens with around 17,000 original floral collections.
