Why Zimbabwe is still the preferred tourist destination in Africa

One would wonder why tourists come from all over the world to visit Zimbabwe. What is it that makes them ignore all the negative publicity that the country has and still run to the country. Even when there was hyperinflation, the country's tourism industry still stood firm. The answer is multifaceted as we are going to find out.

A look at the flag shows a lot. There is always fresh air in Zimbabwe because the vegetation is guarded jealously by the environmental conservation authorities. Did you know that you could be arrested for carrying loads of firewood without a license or written permission from the authorities.

The second thing is that the mighty Victoria Falls, though shared between Zimbabwe and Zambia, only has a scenic view when viewed from the Zimbabwean side. So tourists have no choice but to go to Zimbabwe to view the Victoria Falls. This has been arranged by the powers that be and hence there is no choice but to get into Zimbabwe to view the Victoria Falls.

This is how you view the Victoria Falls from the Zambian side. From this side you lose out on the water activities in the gorge. So to view the water activity, its either you go to the Zimbabwean side, or you lose out.

This is the view from the Zimbabwean side. There is no need to explain the difference, its all clear.

The third reason why Zimbabwe still has visitors is because of the Great Zimbabwe (Dzimbadzamabwe), from which the country derives its name. Apparently this is one of the surviving ancient settlements. The construction is difficult to explaining considering the size of stones used and the technology that was there at the time.

It is interesting to note that historians and archaeologists are still scavenging the area to try and explain how this structure came into being. everyone would be keen to see this monument considering how people in general consider early African civilization.

The animal Kingdom in the country is a blend of big and small animals. The pictures that follow will show the species that attract people from all over the world to visit Zimbabwe.

The Big bird called "Dendera" in the local Shona language.

 This Giant Tortoise is a rare species

The Pangolin is a rare protected species. In ancient history, if one caught it, they were obliged to bring it to the Chief or face punishment.

We will not mention the leopards, lions, elephants, rhino, zebras, buffaloes and other common animals.

Come to Zimbabwe and see for yourself. You will never regret visiting Zimbabwe.

Above all, Zimbabwe is the only country in Africa where foreigners are treated with special respect. if one ill-treats a foreigner, they are punished heavily, this stems from the prominent culture where strangers are deemed worth more respect than locals.
