It is also a land with a fascinating history that provides depth and meaning. Past and present are so inextricably part of everyday life that it is impossible to separate the two. Zimbabwe offers a variety and diversity of attractions. Harare is the capital of Zimbabwe and boasts the National Gallery of Zimbabwe and the Harare Gardens, the city's largest park.
