Zimbabwe is located in southern Africa and is bordered by South Africa to its south, Botswana to its south-west, Zambia to its north-west and Mozambique to its east. With its population of around twelve and a half million, Zimbabwe is slightly smaller than Japan.

When we think of Zimbabwe we tend to think of Robert Mugabe and his harsh, failing regime that has led to a failing state with most living in poverty. This page attempts to show some images of the countryside of Zimbabwe, a landlocked country with a tropical environment.

Previously a popular tourist attraction with splendours such as the Victoria Falls, today Zimbabwe is rarely seen by the outside world as it continues to be largely spurned by the international community.

Whilst many of these images of Zimbabwe show a beautiful country beware if you go wandering as half the country's population have no sanitation and simply use the bush as their toilet leading to cholera outbreaks, one of the worst being in 2008 when 4000 died.

After you've checked out this video why not visit the map of Zimbabwe on our profile pages and zoom in on further images of interest.
