Looking for an incredible historical adventure near Bulawayo? Then plan a trip to the Khami Ruins National Monument. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is more than just old stones—it’s a place where you can walk through the remains of a real ancient capital. Best of all, it’s just a short drive from the city, making it a perfect half-day trip.
Get ready to explore a sprawling landscape of stone terraces and walls. The builders were true artists, creating intricate chevron and checkerboard patterns in the stonework that are still impressive today. As you wander, you’ll discover the ruins of a hilltop palace, ancient platforms, and even a mysterious cross-shaped monument. Don’t forget your camera! The site offers beautiful panoramic views, especially from the highest points.
Khami offers a quieter, more personal experience than other major ruins. You can truly take your time to imagine what life was like here centuries ago. It’s an ideal spot for a family outing, a photographer’s dream, or simply a peaceful escape into history and nature. Whether you’re a local resident or a tourist exploring Zimbabwe, Khami provides a unique and accessible glimpse into the past.
Perfect For: Families, photographers, history buffs, and anyone in Bulawayo looking for a fascinating and convenient outing.
