Zimbabwe is a landlocked country in southern Africa known for its dramatic landscape and diverse wildlife, much of it within parks, reserves and safari areas.
Zimbabwe’s economy is based on agriculture, mining, and services. The government’s focus on improving infrastructure and attracting foreign investment is creating a conducive environment for economic development. Agriculture, mining, and tourism offer additional growth potential.
