Harare Gardens:
The city's largest park, is a green expanse of lawns and garens, and even a mini rainforest. It's a popular picnic spot and a quiet haven from the city bustle just a block to the south.

Mukuvisi Woodlands:
The nearest thing to a zoo in Harare is Mukuvisi Woodlands, a 265 hectare woodlands reserve, 7km east of the city.

National Gallery of Zimbabwe:
The National Gallery of Zimbabwe has been in existence for more than 40 years, and in its lifetime has witnessed the dramatic shift in the country from colonialism to independence. In addition, it has been central to the meteoric rise of Zimbabwean artists in the world art market.

Larvon Bird Gardens and Snake Park:
The distinctive call of the fish eagle invariably greets you as you cross the ornamental bridge over the lake into Larvon Bird Gardens, a lovely wild-bird orphanage just beyond the western outskirts of Harare.

Chinhoyi:
The main draw of Chinhoyi is just outside the town. Called the Chinhoyi Caves, the attraction was formed years ago when an immense sinkhole appeared at the base of the ridge.
