Bulawayo Province
Zimbabwe's second city retains wide colonial-era avenues, a slower pace and a strong Ndebele cultural identity. The Natural History Museum and the Railway Museum are among the region's best, and the city serves as the base for Matobo Hills and Khami excursions.

Chapter III · Masvingo Province · 3 places
Masvingo Province
Gonarezhou National Park in southeastern Zimbabwe borders Mozambique and South Africa and forms part of the Great Limpopo Transfrontier Park. It is named for its large elephant herds — gonarezhou means 'place of many elephants' in Shona. The Chilojo Cliffs, great walls of red sandstone rising above the Runde River, are the park's defining geological and photographic landmark. The park is one of Zimbabwe's wildest and least crowded conservation areas.
