Zimbabwe has many beautiful tourist attractions one of them is the famous Victoria Falls. The country is blessed with fertile soil, mineral wealth and breathtaking scenery. Two major rivers form the northern and southern borders. Great Zambesi River cut across the north, while the Limpopo River forms the southern border with South Africa.
Zimbabwe offers a challenge to hunt that more authentic experience. The country offers an amazing safari. You can bungee jump from the Victoria Falls bridge if you’re one for adrenaline sports; there is hiking and trekking; how about a splash into whitewater rafting, kayaking, or canoeing (depending on your thrill level). There are parks to visit, whether it’s the Nyanga National Park, ancient ruin sites like Great Zimbabwe Ruins in Masvingo Khami Ruins, Zimbabwe, Dhlo-Dhlo, and Naletale; the Bvumba Mountains, and so on, the list is goes on. Then there are the “balancing rocks” strewn throughout Zimbabwe, another wonder of nature.
Here are main tourist attractions in Zimbabwe:

It is situated at south west of Zimbabwe between Bulawayo and Victoria Falls.
3. Harare
Harare is the capital city of Zimbabwe, a cosmopolitan and culturally vibrant place.

The busy Mbane Musika market and bus terminal is one of the greatest open-air markets in Africa.
4. Bulawayo

Places to visit are the National Museum (one of the best and most comprehensive on the continent) and an equally good Railway Museum.
5. The Great Zimbabwe Ruins
The Great Zimbabwe Ruins are an impressive set of stone complexes built between the 13th and 15th century when the ancient Kingdom of Munumatapa existed in all its glory.
