  • amazing
    By cedccb, 11/13/05
    Despite Mugabe and misery, zimbabwe people are friendly, smiling and very helpfull. the town is beautifull as well as the country. tourism is a big part of this country economy and by going there you promote jobs and better living. people will enjoy showing you around and giving you tips on the whereabouts. Namibia and botswana are also great and easy and safe to visit.
