It’s time to book your flight to Harare on your way to discover the many gems of Zimbabwe and to explore the thriving capital city of Zimbabwe. 

Harare is a colourful city in more ways than one. The city is home to many vibrant cultures amongst the friendly locals. Browse vividly-coloured goods and local cuisine on sale as you walk through the city’s many markets in Mbare. Also, the purple hues of flowering Jacaranda trees illuminate the ‘sunshine’ city’s streets and parks between September and October each year, much like in parts of South Africa.

Harare is home to many historical treasures in the National Archives, Queen Victoria National Library and the Queen Victoria Museum. View old documents from the past that share meaningful stories about Zimbabwe’s rich history, famous explorers and other fascinating artefacts from the past.

Are you an art lover? There’s a creative side to Harare too. View exceptional local artwork, fascinating Shona stone carvings and exhibitions from around the world at the National Gallery. 

Are you fond of nature? Harare is not only blessed with Jacaranda trees. The National Botanical Garden is a highlight for travellers too. Spend a peaceful afternoon admiring several hundred plant species in this magical garden. Don’t stop there. Few cities offer so much natural beauty. Enjoy excellent game viewing in the Mukuvisi Woodlands.

Before you leave Harare, be sure to take in a grand view of Harare from the top of the Kopje hill. Perhaps now is the time to book your flight, whether it be the start or the destination of your next adventure.
