Harare Accommodation

Rising above Harare in Zimbabwe, there's a granite hill named "The Kopje", and it's from here that you have the best views of Harare, which is situated high on the country's central plateaux in the north-east of Zimbabwe, in the heart of historic Mashonaland.

Harare, the Zimbabwe capital, is known as the "city of flowering trees", whose lustrous purples and reds decorate Harare's glass tower backdrop of modern buildings mingling with the older Harare historical buildings, which have been respectfully preserved honouring Harare's culture and heritage. There are numerous five-star hotels in Harare and restaurants, shopping malls, cinemas, theatres, night clubs and many Zimbabwe cultural pleasures in and around the city.
Harare Bed & Breakfast accommodation is generally situated in the upmarket suburbs of Harare, only minutes from the city centre, close to Harare business, Harare tourism and Harare travel hubs.

For the Zimbabwe sporting enthusiast, Harare is populated by some two million people, with most living in central Harare, and sporting interest runs high as Harare is home to the country's main test cricket ground - Harare Sports Club, and to Dynamos F.C., Zimbabwe's most successful association football team.
