Situation

Bulawayo is the second biggest town in Zimbabwe and the center of Matabeland, home to the Ndebele tribe, speaking a langauge of the same name. Other than in Harare, this town gives the impression of a much more provincial cosy town. Most buildings show the typical colonial style, you won't find any high-risers.

Highlights
