Travellers have an opportunity of seeing the second largest stone built monument in Zimbabwe. Its historical importance lies in its position at the watershed between the history of Great Zimbabwe and the later Zimbabwe period. It is one of the few Zimbabwe sites that were not destroyed by treasure hunters and its undisturbed stratigraphy is scientifically important in providing a much clearer insight into the history of the country.

5.00I had a fantastic visit to Khami ruins thanks to the excellent guiding and driving of Valentine from Bonisa Tours. Valentine is so passionate about the history and culture of Zimbabwe that he made the rocks and stones come alive. The khami ruins itself is a fascinating glimpse into the past. I just wish I had more time in Bulawayo so Valentine could show me more sights in the surrounding area. Highly recommended

5.00Lesley's tour of the Khami Ruins was fun. He explained how the Shona people or their close cultural ancestors built the first stone city called Mapungubwe in South Africa. This initial stone city led to five more including Great Zimbabwe and the Khami Ruins. The unique architecture gave me plenty of opportunities to take photos. Great experience!

5.00We had a really enjoyable afternoon at Khami ruins, it was great to be able to walk amongst the old stone walls. Our guide Valentine was knowledgeable about the ruins and the history of Zimbabwe. Good for nature lovers too, there are a pair of Fish Eagles in the area and we also saw a Brown Snake Eagle. Would recommend this trip.
