Harare,Zimbabwe
Harare is the capital of Zimbabwe. On the edge of landscaped Harare Gardens, the National Gallery of Zimbabwe has a large collection of African contemporary art and traditional pieces like baskets, textiles, jewelry and musical instruments. The unusual granite formation Epworth Balancing Rocks is southeast of the city. Wildlife such as zebras and giraffes roam Mukuvisi Woodlands, which has bike paths and a bird park.

Water Activities
Harare may not have a beach, but that doesn’t really matter – right, Joburgers? There are still a plethora of activities for the water babies visiting Harare. There are many small-to-medium sized dams surrounding the city, all within a one-hour drive. If fishing sounds like the best way to relax, go to Darwendale Dam (about 70km west of Harare) where numerous records for largemouth bass have been broken in previous years – an 8.2kg whopper is the current record. Prefer something a little more thrilling? Arcadia Dam (situated about 100km north of Harare) or Lake Chivero (about 30km west of Harare) are perfect for boating, skiing and tubing. Take a picnic and relax on the shores before skimming across the surface of the water at speed.

Wining and Dining
Harare has a variety of eating establishments; from quirky to larney, there is a restaurant to cater for every appetite. To satisfy a meat craving, visit The Butcher’s Kitchen in Sam Levy’s Village, Borrowdale. Choose your fresh meat from the display and the chef will prepare it to perfection. Fancy something more upmarket? Then visit Amanzi (158 Enterprise Road, Highlands) for delicious international food and local art for sale, while sitting in their lush garden. A great way to turn a good meal into a better night out is to visit The Tin Roof Bucket Bar and Bistro (1 Lewisam Shopping Centre, Entreprise Road). Enjoy a Portuguese-style peri-peri chicken, or fresh calamari at a wooden bench in this rustic bar. Once the food is digested, order a round of drinks and enjoy the good music and friendly vibes late into the night.
