About Zimbabwe

Zimbabwe, also known as the Republic of Zimbabwe, is located in the southeastern part of Africa, is a landlocked country, and its capital is Harare.
Zimbabwe has borders with Mozambique, South Africa, Zambia, and Botswana. Its name in the local language means "Houses of Stone." The country hosts some of Africa's ancient ruins and has a population of nearly 13 million. Most of the population consists of local communities such as Shona, Ndebele, and Chewa.
While European settlers had a significant presence in the country in the past, the European population has dwindled to less than 1% of the population. Factors contributing to the decrease in Zimbabwe's population include the widespread prevalence of AIDS and migrations to neighboring countries.
More than half of the population in Zimbabwe practices Christianity, but a substantial number of people who follow indigenous African religions exist.
Due to its lack of coastline, Zimbabwe experiences a predominantly continental and tropical climate. In summer, temperatures generally range from 25 to 30 degrees Celsius. Winter temperatures are usually not very low. In Harare, the average temperature throughout the year is around 20-25 degrees Celsius. Zimbabwe's favorable climate makes it suitable for visiting throughout the year. However, if you wish to avoid the rainy season when heavy rains occur, you can opt to visit the country during the months outside of November and March.
The highest point in Zimbabwe is Nyangani, located near the Mozambique border, offering visitors impressive mountain views.
The economy of Zimbabwe, like many other African countries, is primarily based on agriculture. Cotton, tobacco, wheat, and maize are among the most cultivated agricultural products, which also play a significant role in trade. The country faces considerable economic challenges, with a high inflation rate, making it known as the country with the world's highest inflation.
Despite all the challenges, Zimbabwe has a colorful and exciting cultural richness and hosts numerous festivals and celebrations year-round. Some of the most famous festivals in the country include the Buddyz Arts Festival, Harare Jazz Festival, Harare International Arts Festival, and Winter Jazz Music Festival.
Zimbabwean cuisine mainly consists of maize and potatoes, with meals often eaten with the hands. One of the country's most famous dishes is "sadza and stew," prepared using these ingredients.
Due to the high inflation in Zimbabwe, there is no official currency. Visitors commonly use American Dollars for official transactions in the country, so it's advisable to carry US Dollars when visiting.
