Investigate Gweru on the internet via a google search engine and you are given a rather lackluster version......"With a population of just over a hundred thousand, Gweru is no swinging city." or "Ancient ruins in the backwoods, off-shoots of the empire of Great Zimbabwe, provide a little excitement.
It is here that you can go on game safaris either on foot, on horseback or for the very keen traveller who does not want to be able to walk the next day, on elephant back!!1
It is great that Gweru is no swinging city because it is Zimbabwes best kept secret!!
