ABOUT THE EVENT
You are cordially invited to join us at the Embassy of Zimbabwe for a night filled with fun and information on the country's culture, economy, business and mainly tourism.
Witness the majesty of wildlife roaming free in the National Parks, feel the spray of the mighty Victoria Falls and experience the warmth of Zimbabweans whose hospitality shines with genuine joy, and no visit is complete without indulging in Zimbabwe’s rich gastronomy.
Zimbabwe has several major tourist attractions. Victoria Falls on the Zambezi river is one of them. It is considered to be the largest waterfall in the world.
The Victoria Falls National Park is also in this area and is one of the eight main national parks in the country. The largest of which is Hwange National Park. Lake Kariba another site for tourism, is the largest reservoir in the world.
Zimbabwe is unusual in Africa in that there are a number of ancient and medieval ruined cities built in a unique dry stone style. Among the most famous of these are the Great Zimbabwe ruins in Masvingo.
Zimbabwe is also the third largest producer of platinum and one of the largest producers of gold.

ABOUT THE EVENT
As you all remember well, this event used to bring out hundreds of people every week. However, it was discontinued last year for obvious reasons and we couldn't gather that many people now, because of restrictions. Hence, we are downsizing and caping the number of attendees. We have super limited spots and advance ticket purchase is required.
During this unprecedented time we were in lockdowns/confinements and we were not able to stay in touch with our old friends (as we used to) and couldn't make new ones. That is why we came up with the FRIENDING part. We have a lot in common :- We speak different languages, we represent different cultures, we lived/travelled to different countries, we appreciate different accents, we are internationally minded.
After the formal session, we will rotate attendees from table to table. So that everyone meets everyone. You would get to meet your future friends/acquaintances/buddies/pals /partner-in-crimes or may be more:) To hang out/go out or do things together, like Biking, Hiking, Skiing,Traveling,.....etc. Also, this is an ideal event if you are new in town or not!
By popular demand, we are bringing back the Students/Teetotalers Ticket. If you are between 18 and 21 years of age, you can attend this event.
Ticket price includes :
OPTION # 1 : A Taco AND House Margarita/House Wine/House Beer. Cash Bar afterwards (which means you pay as you go). Our signature drink Mer-Tini will be featured too:) Ask your bartenders.
