Zimbabwe
Zimbabwe began life after independence in 1980, with one
of the best transport and communication infrastructures in
Africa, a solid industrial base, a thriving tourism industry, and
with towns and cities that were ordered, safe and well maintained.
While this is manifestly no longer the case as a result of the
country’s troubled political and economic woes in the last decade
or so, Zimbabwe still has well-protected national parks, which are
home to a full range of African animals, and a network of lodges
and hotels that, even in the midst of the crisis, offer world-class
standards of accommodation and service.
There are also a number
of museum sites and monuments, such as the ruins of Great
Zimbabwe, which showcase the fractured history of the local
society, while the urban arts, music and restaurant scenes have
proved surprisingly resilient.
Zimbabwe’s modern difficulties have never affected tourists,
and now that the country’s reputation for stability is improving in
leaps and bounds, tourism in Zimbabwe is flourishing once
again. Wherever you go in Zimbabwe, ordinary people very
much welcome travellers – and their tourist dollars – to
the country.
