Zimbabwe is worth a fortnight of one's life if only to see its entire marvel and follow the history. Evidence of a distinctive culture within the borders of modern Zimbabwe can be traced as far back as 30 000 years. The country's ancient rock art enjoys a world-wide reputation and illustrates a close relationship which pre historic Africans established with the animal kingdom. The pre colonial period, the arrival of the colonial settlers, the first, second and third Chimurenga shape modern day Zimbabwe and its heritage.

Hospitality is inherent complemented by Zimbabwe’s beacon in literacy of the highest standard in the whole of Africa.
Great Zimbabwe - The Grand Medieval Palce
Written by Zimbabwe Tourism
The Great Zimbabwe, or "stone buildings", is the name given to the twelfth to fifteenth century stone ruins spread out over a 722 hectare(1,784 acre) area within the modern-day country of Zimbabwe, which itself is named after the ruins. It is near the town of Masvingo, which before majority rule was called Fort Victoria. The word "Great" distinguishes the site from the many hundred small ruins, known as Zimbabwes, spread across the Zimbabwe highveld. There are 200 such sites in southern Africa, with monumental, mortarless walls and Great Zimbabwe is the largest.

It is located on the Zambezi river, about halfway between the river's source and mouth, about 1300 kilometers upstream from the Indian Ocean, and lies along the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe. Lake Kariba was filled between 1958 and 1963 following the completion of the Kariba Dam at its northeastern end, flooding the Kariba Gorge on the Zambezi River, also displacing large numbers of the local Tonga people.
