Hi, my name is Tshavani but you can call me Tsha. I am a Tour Guide based in Bulawayo Zimbabwe . Come and join me on my escapades as we tour Bulawayo its surroundings and beyond. No place is out of reach in Zimbabwe. You will get the experience of a lifetime that will remain ingrained in your memory forever. You want to see a number of places through out Zimbabwe but not sure how to go about it. You have made the correct contact, I can help you organise your trip and tailor make it to your expectations and more.
I am a middle-aged family man with a wife and three children. I love sports and like playing football and watching various other sporting activities. I also like fishing but only as a sport(angling). I am a health freak and like eating healthy and jogging to keep fit.

I love Tour Guiding because it accords me the opportunity to interact with clients from different nationalities and cultures and I am able to impart my vast knowledge and experience while learning a lot from them as well. I love interacting with nature and being able to pass on that experience to my clients. I like being a part of the first impression of my country's hospitality. By the way, did I tell you how I became a Tour Guide, I can't afford not to let you in on this one. One day I received a call from a Touring Company based in Bulawayo asking me whether I could cover for one of their Guides who had fallen sick on the eve of a trip to the Khami Heritage site. Initially, I was reluctant but then decided to give it a go. Apparently, the clients had been told that the replacement Guide was inexperienced, to put it mildly. In fact, they had been told that I was a rookie which was not far from the truth. So they did not expect much from me but just wanted to get on with the trip. The two-hour trip ended up taking up four hours at the persistence of the clients. I really enjoyed the experience. We returned back to base and while the company wanted to pay me for the extra two hours I insisted on being paid the two hours initially agreed upon. In the evening I received another call informing me that I had received rave reviews from the clients and were wondering if they could offer me more tours in the future as and when I would be free. I took up the offer and the rest is history.

Come to Bulawayo and you will never regret the experience from the city's diversity and friendly people. The city is endowed with a rich culture and heritage as well as an environment full of unique flora and fauna. It is home to pre-colonial states as well as an important pivot of successive colonial governments. It was the former capital of the great Ndebele King Lobengula and in close proximity are the equally unique Khami Ruins and Rhodes Matopos National Park which is full of animals and a rich plant species. It is home to one of the best railway museums in Southern Africa which houses Cecil John Rhodes's antiques. It has a well equipped National Museum in the same breath. The city is strategically located in close proximity to some of Zimbabwe's greatest tourist attractions in the mighty Victoria Falls, the great Hwange National Park, and majestic Great Zimbabwe ruins an ancient architectural marvel in Southern Zimbabwe. The city's traditional food cuisine is second to none and those interested in local traditional dishes will have their plates full. You can also experience the culture of the local Ndebele people from the village tour packages available.

All the tour packages can be custom made according to the requirements and preferences of the client. Special food requirements such as a vegan diet and more can be accommodated. Any other tinkering to the packages can be discussed.

Dimtry and Nadia Special Tour

If you are interested in learning about a variety of cultures and traditions then this is the place to visit. It is located at the periphery of the Rhodes Matopo National Park. Not only will you learn and experience the rich Ndebele culture representative of the Nguni tribes of Southern Africa but you will also see first hand the rock paintings that were carried out by the earliest inhabitants of the area the San hunter-gatherers. You will visit a real contemporary Ndebele home and experience how they currently live as well as how they lived since they have retained much of their cultural lifestyle. On the way there are rolling granite hills, lots of animal sightings including a variety of antelope such as wildebeest and impala, there are Zebra, warthogs and on a lucky day, the white Rhino population that is resident in the main park are sighted. It is also very rich in birdlife.
I am delighted to share this journey with you and create bonds that grow bigger than our differences and get us closer together.

Choose Bulawayo as a holiday destination and you will be spoilt for choice. There are many interesting places to explore in and around the city. Perched in the thick forests just 22km west of Bulawayo is the sprawling stonewalled ancient city of Khami. It is a unique site and a continuation of the early Shona stone building culture. Such is its importance to world history that it has been declared a Unesco World Heritage site. It is an exhibition of the architectural skill found at Great Zimbabwe which has undergone further construction metamorphosis. I am really passionate about sharing the history and culture of this place because of its contribution to the civilization of humankind as well as its contribution to the history and culture of modern-day Zimbabwe.
The role that history made in my development and life path has no challenger; Descriptive analysis can never be enough for such a great site come visit and explore it for yourself with a local expert-friend to guide you. You will not be disappointed
