Kid-Friendly Spots in Zimbabwe

NATIONAL BOTANIC GARDENS

The National Botanical Garden of Zimbabwe is located in the suburb of Alexandra Park, in Harare which is approximately 4 km north of Harare City Centre. It also houses Zimbabwe's National Herbarium. The gardens are nearly 7 square kilometres in size. Initially, it was built in 1902 as a leisure area. In 1962, under the direction of Prof. Hiram Wild, it became the National Botanical Gardens. Half of the gardens are dedicated to indigenous plants from the woodlands of Zimbabwe and include most of the country's 750 species. Other areas include plants typical of the African continent, including rare and endangered species, as well as South American, Indian, Australian and Far East exotics. This is a pleasant place to visit for those interested in plants or forest environments in Zimbabwe. It's a perfect place for your kids to run around, have a light meal at the restaurant, and the various forest ecosystems in general.
