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.
