Great Zimbabwe - a must-see!

MrJean_D, Jan 2025

Great Zimbabwe is a must-see when visiting Zimbabwe! I had pick up at my hotel in the morning, and then some 4 hours drive to the site. Late breakfast is included before the guided tour of Great Zimbabwe, that took around 2 hours, covering the 2 large enclosures. There is a small museum at the site too. It might be a good idea to have a hat for the sun, and a rain/wind jacket handy, especially during the rainy season. Good closed walking shoes/trainers are recommended. A local guide explained things as we walked through the enclosues. Lunch was also included after the tour. All in all, it took almost 12 hours from pick up to drop off in Bulawayo.

Response from Host, Mar 2025

Sounds like an incredible day exploring Great Zimbabwe! A 4-hour drive might seem long, but with a late breakfast included and the 2-hour guided tour of those massive enclosures, it seems totally worth it. The small museum’s a nice bonus too. Good call on the hat, jacket, and solid shoes—practical tips, especially for the rainy season. Having a local guide walk you through the history must’ve brought the place to life, and lunch included is always a win. Twelve hours from Bulawayo and back is a full adventure—glad it paid off!

Great Zimbabwe on a hot day

Andrew_W, Nov 2024

My tour guide/ driver Blessing picked me up from my hotel and explained the day's itinerary. It was just us 2 for the 4.5hr drive to/from Great Zimbabwe, and he was very accommodating. Breakfast (more like brunch) was provided when we arrived then onto GZ, where a local guide gave the tour. The place was wasn't very big, but it was interesting learning about it's history. I opted out of climbing up to the hill complex due lack of strength from the blazing noon sun. Lunch was provided afterwards, but since I just ate, I opted for takeaway and saved it for dinner. The cold drinks provided on the return trip were a lifesaver.

Amazing place

What a great experience! It takes long from Bulawayo but definitely it is worth visiting. I learned the fantastic history and imagined how they lived there.
