The name "Zimbabwe" stems from a Shona term for Great Zimbabwe, an ancient ruined city in the country's south-east whose remains are now a protected site.

Introduction Cont… Home to the mighty Victoria Falls one of the World’s 7 natural wonders Zimbabwe has a tropical climate with many local variations. The country is mostly savannah, although the moist and mountainous eastern highlands support areas of tropical evergreen and hardwood forests.
