What you need to know before you book your airfare and tickets
Kick off your trip to Zimbabwe with a cheap flight to Harare. With wide thoroughfares and neatly gridded streets, it is a breeze navigating around Harare. It is worth spending a few hours in the National Gallery. This blocky, unassuming building houses an interesting and diverse collection of artworks by local artists. The gallery also periodically organises special exhibitions to showcase works by international artists. Head over to the National Archives to learn more about the history of Zimbabwe. The National Archives houses a huge collection of diaries, books and written reports, as well as a multitude of artefacts. You will find a variety of restaurants serving European as well as local cuisine in Harare. The Amanzi Restaurant offers an interesting menu of fusion cuisine, with dishes ranging from Kashmiri chicken livers to a sushi platter. Local favourites such as sadza and stew can be found almost everywhere, from street stalls to high end restaurants. Do spend some time in the great outdoors too. The Mukuvisi Woodlands centre is only 5 kilometres from the centre of Harare. This sprawling nature reserve shelters a stunning, colourful variety of native flora and fauna. Come face to face with zebras, giraffes, impalas, wildebeest, and more! The Mukuvisi Woodlands Centre also runs educational programmes for students and visitors.
