Gap Year Programs in Zimbabwe

Okay, so now you want to gap year in Zimbabwe, but where??? Here are some of the top locations for Zimbabwe gap years:

Gweru. This beautiful, centrally located city is an ideal destination for your gap year in Zimbabwe. From sunny winters and rainy summers, Zimbabwe is often painted with purple jacarandas, red roses and poinsettias, and in the spring, orange glory before green summers. When nature paints itself, all you have to do is show up and appreciate it. Beyond the natural beauty, Gweru has several colleges and universities which is perfect for Zimbabwe gap years since it will be easier for you to meet other students! Making friends in new parts of the world is an incredible experience that you won’t want to miss out on. 

Harare. As the capital of Zimbabwe, Harare has access to both the cultural roots of Zimbabwe at the National Gallery of Zimbabwe as well as the wildlife and nature at Mukuvisi Woodlands, which has giraffes and zebras roaming, as well as bike paths for your leisure. Just imagine immersing yourself in both an internship and the amazing Zimbabwean culture, while having opportunities to mingle with the wildlife and wonderful residents of Zimbabwe. Harare is the most populous city, so you will have plenty of people (and animals) to meet and enjoy!

Victoria Falls. Need we say more? Well, if you want to hear it… As the largest waterfall in the world, you will experience life on the border between Zimbabwe and Zambia. So if you are looking for an awe-inspiring experience, Victoria Falls is for you (seriously, look it up—you won’t regret it!). You can find gap year programs in Zimbabwe that will take you on boat tours, river rafting, white water rafting, and tubing. Talk about exciting! Elephant sanctuaries and canopy tours will also be right at your fingertips. Victoria Falls is also only a drive away from Hwange National Park! You will have no time to be bored or uninspired during your gap year in Zimbabwe.
