Nature, historic attractions, outdoor adventures, sports, and bars. You name it, Harare has it. Although it is best known for its wildlife sanctuaries and safaris, these things are just a part of what Zimbabwe’s capital has to offer. Visitors can surround themselves with the beauty of nature at the National Botanic Gardens or the Lake Chivero Recreational Park. The Chapungu Sculpture Park, Doon Estate, and Chapungu Village are the places to go to see the works of local stone sculptors. Adventure-seekers will want to try out canoeing or rafting, while those who prefer tamer outdoor things to do may play golf or go fishing. One day is simply not enough if you want to see what Harare has to offer, so make sure to stay in one of the Airbnb vacation rentals in Harare, Zimbabwe, for a roaring good time in the city!
