Great Zimbabwe monument is a Unesco World Heritage Site, it’s full of history and provides a perfect day out for visitors in Zimbabwe. It was the capital of the Kingdom of Zimbabwe during the country’s Late Iron Age. Great Zimbabwe served as a royal palace for the Zimbabwean monarch and was used as the seat of political power. One of its most prominent features were the walls, some of which were over five meters high and which were constructed without mortar.
There are 200 such sites in southern Africa, such as Bumbusi in Zimbabwe and Manyikeni in Mozambique, with monumental, mortarless walls but none as large and intact as those of Great Zimbabwe.

The ruins are a great experience. The drive from Harare and back in one day is probably too far, due to road conditions. It took us over six hours each way.
I would suggest staying over night or driving from Bulawayo.

It was a great experience. The distance from Harare to the ruins is quite long, but Thembi made sure that everything went well and smoothly. From driving safely to ensuring that I was well-fed and having a good moment, Thembi was spot on. It was my first time on this kind of tour, and Thembi took care of everything ensuring my peace of mind and just enjoying the visit.

A big thumbs-up from Peter-Drake of Hexham Australia and his daughter Linda - a teacher at "Queen Elizabeth High School" (QEHS)!!!
We took this trip with our daughter (a chemistry & science teacher at the local "Queen Elizabeth High School") and her fiance.
Excellent value for money. Covers all the bases, and plenty of time to wander on your own.
Highly recommended.
