Zimbabwe named 3rd Best Destination in the World to Visit in 2019

Though the country might be going through a lot of economic challenges of late. Here is something to put a smile of every Zimbo’s face.

Zimbabwe has just been named the 3^rd best destination to visit in 2019, on Lonely Planet’s website. What is unique is that Zimbabwe is the only country in the top 10. According to Lonely Planet Zimbabwe is one of the safest destinations in the world, and it is blessed with ultra-friendly locals, that’s us people.

• Zimbabwe

While it may be known for making the headlines for all the wrong reasons, Zimbabwe has always been a country that travellers on the ground have raved about. Not only is it one of Africa’s safest destinations, it’s one blessed with ultra-friendly locals, Big Five-filled national parks, World Heritage-listed archaeological ruins, forested mountains and, of course, the mighty Victoria Falls. Although the controversial 2018 election may have dampened the unbridled optimism following the end of Robert Mugabe’s time in power, the sense of hope for what the country can become remains strong in Zimbabweans. And as always, a visit here is viewed by locals as a sign of support of them on their journey to a new dawn. — Lonely Planet
