Victoria Falls, also known as Mosiotunia Falls, is located at the junction of Zambia and Zimbabwe and is one of the world's famous waterfall wonders."Hwange100km from downtown HwangeHighlights: Victoria Falls, located on the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe, is one of the three largest waterfalls in the world. Victoria Falls was included in the World Heritage List in 1989. Locals call it Mosi Otuna, which means smoke that thunders like a thunderbolt. In addition, there is a town in Zimbabwe with the same name as the waterfall. Due to the obstruction of the Dangjiang River on Livingstone Island, the waterfall is divided into five sections, forming Devil's Falls, Main Falls, Horseshoe Falls, Rainbow Falls and East Falls. Among them, the Devil Waterfall in the west is particularly majestic.Show Less - 6.04.8/511 Review"There are some folk villages where black people live next to Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe, where you can see simple accommodations where Africans live, there are no furnishings in the house, almost everything is covered, no kitchen and toilet, and it is unforgettable to see these."Hwange100km from downtown HwangeHighlights: This folk village, which is mainly based on Zimbabwean houses, is located next to Victoria Falls.

based on 52 reviews"I have been to Africa eight times, and I don’t know what I see every time. The last time I went was in 2011, because the tour guide was Chinese, so I was good to talk, and took us to an African family. Very poor, no furniture, sleeping on the ground, cooking is also a pile of firewood. After watching, I am still more contented with my own home."Harare706m from downtown HarareHighlights: The National Gallery of Playgirls is near the central bank, on the edge of a large park. It mainly exhibits contemporary Zimbabwean and African art, including paintings, stone carvings and various sculptures. The stone carvings in the garden are indeed local art. There is a good selection of carvings and art at the nearby gift shop.Show Less - 5.34.9/521 Reviewbased on 51 reviews"Balancing Stone Park is famous for two reasons, one is that the Balancing Stone in this park is a ghost of nature, and the second is because this park appeared on Zimbabwean banknotes. Of course it is famous."Harare9.9km from downtown HarareHighlights: Balanced Stone Park is a peculiar park on the outskirts of Harare. It is neither famous for its precious flowers nor beautiful scenery, but it is world-famous for its giant and grotesque stones. The "boat-shaped boulder" pattern in the park has become one of Zimbabwe's national symbols, and it is widely known by being printed on banknotes and tourist brochures.Show Less
- 5.34.3/519 Review"Zimbabwe is an African country, the country and Zambia border, the border is Victoria Falls, so both countries say they have Victoria Falls resources, the world's best tourism resources."Masvingo23.2km from downtown MasvingoHighlights: The ancient city of Great Zimbabwe is located in the southeast of Harare. It is the largest and most important memorial hall of ancient civilization in the south of the Sahara. In Africa, the ancient city is second only to the pyramids of Egypt in terms of size and importance. The country name of Zimbabwe comes from the Great Zimbabwe Ruins, and the Zimbabwe bird unearthed here is also one of the symbols of Zimbabwe. The ruins of this ancient city are conclusive evidence of early African civilization. Archaeological discoveries prove that the ancient city of Great Zimbabwe was the capital of great religious significance at that time. The tower-shaped stone house was a dwelling between the 12th and 15th centuries, when about 2,000 Shona people lived here. The area of the ancient city ruins is 270 hectares, and it takes tourists a whole day to appreciate its majesty. There are seven sculptures in the ruins of the site, the most prominent of which is the stone osprey with different styles. Among the boulders on the top of the mountain stands a stone castle, overlooking the valley from the castle, and the scenery is spectacular. Below the castle is a double wall with a diameter of 250 meters and a wall of 10 meters. In addition to the huge cone-shaped castle, there are smaller fortresses and walls, which are the entrances to the underground passages. All structures are built from millions of pieces of rock. It is the site of an unforgettable stone structure, without stucco, arches and domes, which is a contemporary mystery with its more mysterious and complex architecture.Show Less
