Cultural Village TourVisit a real Zimbabwean village and learn what true rural life is about, and see how villagers have kept the culture aliveMonde Village near Victoria Falls
IntroductionA visit to a local Zimbabwean village is an eye-opening experience and interactive tour, giving insight into the old ways of the Zimbabwean people, essentially taking you back in time. Most rural Zimbabwean folks are subsistence farmers, so they have little interaction with urban centres apart from if they want to sell surplus. Villagers interact more with each other than with the outside world.
