Bulawayo & Matobo
Bulawayo is Zimbabwe's second largest city. Located in the south-west
of the country it offers a variety of cultural attractions including
the Natural History Museum, a Railway Museum, the Bulawayo Art gallery,
the Mzilikasi Art and Craft Center and the Amakhosi Cultural Center.
Less than an hour from the city is Matobo National Park which is known
for the many fantastically shaped granite rock outcroppings that dot
the landscape, for the large numbers of rock paintings and for the
world's largest concentration of black eagles. The game viewing is also
excellent. Both black and white rhinoceros are present and the park
boasts a large number of leopard for its size.
