About Bulawayo for Solo Travelers

Zimbabwe's "City of Kings" — colonial-era architecture, Africa's finest natural history museum, and the extraordinary granite hills of Matobo where white rhinos roam and San rock art covers cave walls.

Solo Travel Tips· Confident Solo

Bulawayo is Zimbabwe's second city and deeply proud of its history — the Bulawayo National Museum, Natural History Museum (one of Africa's best), and the Matobo Hills (Rhodes's grave, ancient San rock art, rhino tracking) make it a rich solo cultural destination. The city is very walkable and safe during the day. The Matobo Hills alone justify the Bulawayo stop.
