HarareZim The capital city of Zim. Harare, once known as Salisbury, is the capital of Zimbabwe, home to Robert Mugabe (and his gun wielding henchmen) and a host of African curios that you must bargain hard for or else you’ll be ripped off. It’s an odd combination of the western world and Africa. Psst. If you happen to venture past PM Rob’s house do so in the day - they get a little trigger happy at night and shoot on sight. Yikes... A must is the snake and lion/cheetah park which is about 23km from the city. Check out the 250 year old tortoise which is unbelievably huge and like something out of the Never Ending Story. A great place to camp is the National Park at Lake Chivero, which we thought was great.
