Harare is often used as a thoroughfare for visitors flying in from around the globe and heading out to their safari experience, but it is well worth a stopover.

This beautiful, tree-lined city houses a number of preserved colonial buildings, and offers a number of excellent museums and art galleries which are home to priceless Africana among other superb exhibits.

Easy access, a good offering of hotels and conference facilities, local people who are dedicated to excellent service delivery, all combine to make this gateway city an excellent option for the M.I.C.E. market.
