Great historic site. Too far to drive from Harare.

The ruins are a great experience. The drive from Harare and back in one day is probably too far, due to road conditions. It took us over six hours each way. I would suggest staying over night or driving from Bulawayo.
GREAT EXPERIENCE!!!

It was a great experience. The distance from Harare to the ruins is quite long, but Thembi made sure that everything went well and smoothly. From driving safely to ensuring that I was well-fed and having a good moment, Thembi was spot on. It was my first time on this kind of tour, and Thembi took care of everything ensuring my peace of mind and just enjoying the visit.
