Welcome

One of the purposes of this website is to reassure visitors that the whole of Zimbabwe, including those remotest corners, are safe to travel.

The only way that today’s visitors and residents of Zimbabwe can appreciate the jigsaw puzzle of Zimbabwe’s history is by visiting and by walking through these silent sites and examining them and reading the excellent site descriptions and brochures that are available which I would encourage NMMZ to keep expanding. If this guide helps those visitors a little in understanding the background information then the effort in preparing it will have been repaid.

Each article gives a breakdown of sites by area and by category on what there is to see, and each location has detailed directions on how to get there and the reasons to make a visit. This is being added to all the time, but if you know of a site that you cannot find here, please let me know through the contact form.

Although I have included the details of game lodges and tented camps, that does not mean I endorse them as this is a non-commercial site. I simply want visitors and residents to know what is available and, in any case, these places are an essential part of the typical visitor's wildlife experience of Zimbabwe.
