IMIRE

If you have a little longer to spare in Harare, visiting Imire encompasses all that Africa has to offer in an unforgettable experience. The world-renowned black rhino breeding program operates here, so you’ll get to see these incredible, but critically endangered animals, as well as elephant, buffalo and other plains game, whilst enjoying all the bush has to offer.  Our school has a very close relationship with Imire, and they provide amazing day and overnight trips. We cannot recommend this highly enough http://www.imire.co.zw

DOMBASHAVA

Dombo (meaning hill) and Shawa (meaning red) is located just 25 mins from the school and is a great place to stretch your legs with a very easy hike.  A large granite rock formation, Domboshava offers many things to explore and see, including a variety of plant life and rock paintings that date back almost 6000 years! Students love getting out to experience the ‘real’ Zimbabwe and the view from the top is spectacular – looking down over the villages and farmlands.

Cost: Entry approx. $4 per person

 

THETFORD GAME RESERVE

Covering 3,300 hectares, Thetford is located only 30 mins from Harare, making it easily accessible for a half day trip whilst you are here. You will be given the opportunity to see white rhino, buffalo, giraffe, a variety of antelope including the sable – our national animal, plus many bird species.
