Harare - Meet and greet at the hotel lobby for our tour. We begin the tour by going to the Africa Unity Square (formerly Cecil Square) where we give the clients a detailed orientation of the country and Harare the capital city of the country. This landmark as well as the surrounding features such as the oldest hotel in the city will give the travelers an insight into the 3 arms of the state namely judiciary, legislative and executive. Travelers will be given a brief but detailed history of the country and continent that is in 3 phases namely pre-colonial, colonial and post colonial
Zimbabwe is one of the countries that have a very diverse culture as well as a great religious diversity so travelers will be given a good orientation of the different religions found in the country and they will be shown some of the places of worship in and around the city - Mbare Market - From Harare CBD we will drive through some of the historic landmarks such as the parliament, judiciary, executive, central bank buildings and drive through the Kopje then we proceed to Mbare which is the hive of the city and the oldest township in Harare and one of the oldest in the country. This area will give a great insight into the daily living of the local people and will give a very interesting contrast to some of the areas that we will visit during the course of the tour. This place connects the city with the rest of the country and it is home to the biggest bus terminus in the country as well as home to the biggest local fresh produce market in the country
- Balancing Rocks - We head to Chiremba/Epworth Balancing rocks where we travelers will see some of the amazing balancing rocks in the country.

- Domboshawa - After lunch we head in a northeastern direction to Domboshava Hill where we will get to see the bushman cave as well as the paintings and yet another stunning balancing rock. The place is also rich in culture and the guide will give an orientation of the area at the interpretative center.

6 star service and tour company! - Beyond impressed! The pre-tour briefing was a nice touch, and they provided the right level of relevant cultural and historical insight throughout the day. They are personable, knowledgeable and very friendly. Very happy to have shared my first experience eating road-runner and drinking maheu with them. Nothing but superlatives for this tour company. I highly recommend them and would love to give 6 stars. I also recommend their concierge services for a worry-free and enjoyable holiday!

Excelllent - It was good, that we not only saw the highlights of Zimbabwe, but also went through regions, where the common people live.
Our guides, Trish and Andy, were very friendly and competent and could answer most of our questions.

Interesting and great guides - Our tour and guides were fantastic, warm, friendly and full of knowledge, it was great to see all the Harare has to offer outside the city, and great to hear about the history of Zimbabwe. Be prepared that Harare it’s self is quite declined.

A drive by not really a tour - Too expensive, too short and lovely guides. Book early or you will be cheated of your time. The balancing Rocks was the best part!

Not enough for the money !!! - No lunch , I was back in my hotel before 2 pm
It only lasted 3 hours tours walk around town a bit. And no air conditioner car

And the museum ….

Interesting but expensive - The sights we saw were interesting and fun and my guide was terrific, insightful and wonderful company. However not everything promised on the site was actually included in the tour, yet there was no reduction in the price. And despite this already being a very pricey tour there were several extra unannounced expenses en route.

Overpriced tour that is not good value for the money - It was entirely too expensive for the amount of time it lasted and for what was provided. There were additional entry fees for the Balancing Rocks and to enter the museum. Those fees should be included considering the high price of the tour. Lunch at the end was also not included. Again, it should have been based upon the extremely high price of the tour. I would not recommend that others take the tour. It could have been done easier independently.
