In the shops and markets you will find exquisitely worked handicrafts and Harare offers some of the friendliest night-life on the continent. One of the best ways to see the country is to hire a car and make your own explorations - perhaps into the game parks or to the more remote towns and villages. Even for golfers, Zimbabwe will prove to be a delight. Ideal weather combined with high quality and remarkably inexpensive courses make the country one of the best places in the world to play the game. Because of the country's inland position and height, which keep humidity comfortably low, Zimbabwe enjoys a superb climate.
Temperatures are agreeably warm in summer and winters are sunny and mild.
The rainy season extends from November to March. One of the most relaxed and welcoming cities in Africa, it is a culturally active, cosmopolitan place with a good choice of restaurants, theatres, cinemas and nightclubs. There is a strong tradition of music and local bands, often combining African and western themes, may be heard in the city's bars and clubs. Shopping, especially for arts and crafts, particularly the lovely Shona sculptures, is a delight. For those who would like to investigate further afield, we offer a range of Freewheeling Self-Drive arrangements that will introduce you to some of the most attractive and interesting areas of Zimbabwe.
