Fantastic tour with Blessing, highly recommend - Fantastic tour with Blessing who was knowledgable, engaging and made the tour experience really enjoyable. The Railway Museum was a particular highlight and the tour is well organised with transport provided along with hotel pick up. Blessing also made time for us to see Centenary Park which was a special request and greatly appreciated - we enjoyed hearing the stories of his experiences living in Bulawayo! Highly recommended tour.
