Harare, the capital of Zimbabwe is one of the most attractive capitals in South Africa. It's a safe city, with a laid-back feel and a wide variety of dining options, museums, bars and craft markets. Known as the Sunshine City, the avenues are lined with dusty red earth, local plants and blooming jacarandas. It's the perfect base to spend a few days before your safari.
The best time to visit Harare is from May to September with warm weather and little rain making it a good time to see the sights, parks and wildlife. Temperatures range from 22°C to 27°C.
