Zimbabwe
Tourism Authority. "Zimbabwe is unique! Where
else in the world can a visitor gaze upon hundreds of
species of tropical wildlife, thrill to the experience of
white water rafting, scale chilly mountain peaks and
savour the history of a people that goes back tens of
thousands of years? Yet these pleasures are but a few of
those waiting to be discovered by the traveller who plans
to visit this gem in the heart of Africa.
Zimbabwe is situated on a high plateau in South Central Of Africa collectively known as Southern Africa, between Limpopo and Zambezi rivers. It is landlocked and bounded by Zambia to the north and northwest, by South Africa to the south, by Mozambique to the east and northeast and by Botswana to the South West. Zimbabwe wholly lies to the north of the Tropic Of Capricorn. Zimbabwe is a Shona word meaning "zimba ramabwe" (big house of stone) usually royal, hence The Great Zimbabwe monument remains a dominant reminder of such structures.
Zimbabwe covers 390 245 square kilometres that is about three times the size of England or equal to the size of California. Most parts of Zimbabwe lie more than 300m above sea level.
Zimbabwe’s population by end of 1999 was 13 079 000. The population is estimated to be 15 543 000 by 2005. Currently the density is 30 people per square kilometre."
