The Shona Sculpture Gallery

Harare gallery specializing in the finest Shona sculpture. Beautiful garden setting, an oasis of calm just minutes from the airport. See works by the best of the contemporary sculptors alongside the most famous names in the art movement.

Before flying back to Malawi I spent 2,5 hours in Shona Sculpture Gallery / Garden. I am impressed to learn about the creativity of Zimbabwiens of several generations! It is lovely presented with a lot of information. We had a very nice conversation and I appreciate the approach of the gallery, especially to support young artists in a close personal relationship.

Raintree Venue

Raintree is a true paradise hidden away in the Umwinsidale Valley. The property has been developed into a unique up market venue providing an ideal setting for any event, from weddings to corporate and private functions. This breathtaking venue maximizes on the best that any venue has to offer with pine forests, landscaped gardens and sweeping lawns that roll down to meet the Umwinsi River which is a clear water stream that cascades over a granite rock waterfall to settle in an idyllic pool below.

Wonderful place with great food and some amazing bird life. When it was working the swimming pool and small kids train were the highlight for my children.

Ngoma Kurira

Reviewed By totaltravelfive

A short car-ride from Harare. There is a sign (turn right) which was hard to see due to high grass. There was a small reception with parking- a few USD per person in entrance fee. A steep, maybe 15 min, climb (the path easy to find and marked with white painted arrows on the ground) to see fantastic rock- paintings. Many smaller ones and also a bigger train of elephants that we didn't notice first (take a step back). We followed the cleft further up (along the brook) and climbed to the top of the mountain. This part needs good shoes and at least some physical capability ;-). From the top of the mountain beautiful view.

National Gallery of Zimbabwe

Reviewed By siann2018

Always a good place to visit if you enjoy art. Exhibitions vary but are usually interesting. There is a good shop with a variety of art and craft for sale. There is also a lovely sculpture part in the gardens out the back. The café has just been revived and has great potential not yet realized. On first day was assisted by a very helpful woman and had lovely fruit juice and sandwich (sadly most of menu not available); next day no one was around to offer service although it was lunch time and I was told someone was supposed to be there (yes, I suppose it was a Monday when the main part of the gallery is closed, and I gather there was someone standing in to do the service....or not) but it was a pity. Hopefully as tourism improves again the café can reach its potential. The gallery only costs a dollar admission, a dollar very well spent.

Lake Chivero Recreational Park

Reviewed By Exploration789319 - Tonbridge, United Kingdom

Visit Zimparks office in town ahead of your trip to book a walk or just arrive early on a weekend and book a walk at the Main Camp in the wardens office - its wonderful, so inexpensive and worth every penny you will get close to incredible wildlife in an authentic bush setting - while also supporting National Parks. We saw rhino, giraffe, zebra and so much more

Chapungu Sculpture Park

Reviewed By RangersLodge - Helensvale, Zimbabwe

Chapungu Sculpture Park is a bit off the beaten track, but is well worth a visit. Take time to chat to the artists themselves - not only are they incredible stoneworkers, but they are incredible storytellers, bringing each of their artworks alive with the inspiration behind them.
