Cheap Flights To Bulawayo

Home to almost 700,000 inhabitants, the second largest city in Zimbabwe and gateway to Matobo National Park and Victoria Falls, Bulawayo is an emerging metropolis and entices visitors from around the world. The city was founded by Lobhengula, a Ndebele king and son of King Mzilikazi Kamat Shabana, circa 1840. During the 1860s, the city attracted European attention, in particular, that of Cecil Rhodes, a mining magnate and Brtish Entrepreneur. By 1893, the region was declared a settlement under the governance of the British South Africa Company by Leander Starr Jameson, a British colonial politician.

Today, this charming city boasts a myriad of attractions and places of interest for visitors. Dine in the finest restaurants or marvel at the exotic wildlife in the region's national parks, shop in one of the many vibrant markets or while away the hours while basking in the sunshine on one of the many unspoilt beaches. The city is also renowned for its bright and flamboyant festivals. Visit in May to join the Bulawayo Music Festival which spans four days and offers a broad spectrum of performances from various musical genres including Jazz, Pop, Gospel and Classical music. Performers from Zimbabwe and beyond perform for festival-goers and the event is considered to be one of the best music festivals in the country.
