Additional Information

Embark on a fascinating journey through the annals of history at the Khami Ruins, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a monumental testament to the Torwa Dynasty’s influence in the 15th to 17th centuries, which grew out of the Great Zimbabwe’s legacy. Marvel at the enduring stone fortifications, masterfully constructed by the Kalanga people without the use of cement, embodying power rather than military defence. Investigate the King’s Residence, where royalty lived in luxurious stone compounds, in stark contrast to the common folks’ Daka huts with thatched roofs. Immerse yourself in the Sacred Ground, a revered site for traditional ceremonies, and the Passage Platform, a learning space for young women about life and matrimony. Uncover the allure of the Tsoro game board and the Northern and Monolith Platforms. Cap off the exploration with sundown refreshments atop the King’s Residence, savoring the mesmerizing landscapes. With the Khami Ruins as a serene backdrop, spend memorable afternoons with your near and dear ones as you unfold a gripping segment of the history which shaped this incredible locale.

An unmissable place for lovers of history and archaeological sites - It is an excellent tour with an excellent guide, the tour of this place exceeded my expectations, the truth is that the photos and videos that I had seen do not do it justice, the place is very impressive. For those of us who like history and archaeological sites, this is a must-see in Zimbabwe. After the tour we finished eating and enjoying refreshing drinks.
