Warm, friendly smiling faces, welcoming attitude, helping hands is the Zimbabwe’s hallmark. Hospitality is second nature to us all - the Shona in the northern regions and the Ndebele in the western parts of the country. Hospitality is inherent complemented by Zimbabwe’s beacon in literacy of the highest standard in the whole of Africa.

 

Traditional ceremonies and dance performances across the country feature a combination of one or more of the following: the mystical and spiritual mbira, marimba, the African drum, clapping, singing, ululations and uniquely rhythmic body movements. Zimbabwe’s culture is punctuated by a fabric of unique dances and ceremonies ranging from the UNESCO proclaimed Intangible Cultural Heritage Mbende-Jerusarema dance, Isitchikitsha, Muchongoyo, Nyau and Makishi amongst the many genres.
