The Republic of Zimbabwe National Day, 18 April

Zimbabwe, officially the Republic of Zimbabwe, is located in Southern Africa, between the Zambezi and Limpopo Rivers, bordered by South Africa, Botswana, Zambia and Mozambique. The capital and largest city is Harare. The second largest city is Bulawayo. A country of roughly 14 million people, Zimbabwe has 16 official languages, with English, Shona, and Ndebele the most common.



The country of Zimbabwe enjoys a powerful mystique that attracts the world's attention, some of it due, no doubt, to its association with the Rider Haggard fictions King Solomon's Mines (1885) and She (1885) and the high level of international visibility it enjoyed during its years of notoriety as a land contested by white minority rulers and African freedom fighters. Other factors contributing to the attraction include the truly rich variety of sights and pleasures it offers visitors, the Great Zimbabwe ruins, Victoria Falls, and the world's largest concentration of ancient rock painting among them.
