Zimbabwe, Country in southern Africa
Zimbabwe stretches between the Zambezi River in the north and the Limpopo River in the south, with mountains rising in the Eastern Highlands.
The Great Zimbabwe ruins, constructed between the 11th and 15th centuries, functioned as the central trading hub of a substantial African empire.
The Shona people maintain traditions through stone sculpture creation, drum-based ceremonies, and oral storytelling passed down through multiple generations.
The US dollar serves as the primary currency for transactions, while South African rand and Botswana pula remain accepted at various establishments.
The Chinhoyi Caves contain an underground network of tunnels and pools, including the Wonder Hole with water maintaining a constant temperature.
