President Robert Mugabe is the head of State and Commander in Chief of the armed forces. He has been in power ever since the country's war for independence. He was initially going to improve the standards of living and the economy but his rule has been characterized by gross economic mismanagement, hyperinflation, and reports of human rights abuses. The economy has collapsed, the health system has collapsed and poverty is widespread over the nation. And it is because of all this that Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai agreed to share power with Mugabe in late 2008. Zimbabwe is always in the headlines for everything they are doing wrong, but behind all the grim details lies one of Africa’s most beautiful countries.Zimbabwean’s have not lost their humour or hospitality and they remain rich in culture and colour! There are so few tourists that visit the country these days but those who do are given royal treatment and are able to witness a different image of the country and experience an unforgettable holiday in one of the best climate’s from visiting the wildlife-rich National parks, secluded getaways, mountains, victoria falls to visiting ruins, going bungee jumping and fine dining. Zimbabwe has something for everyone.  |
