Macheke: Home Park
Tucked into the central plateau of Mashonaland East, Macheke is a place whose character is shaped by farming and the broad, gently rolling countryside around it. The town lies on Zimbabwe’s main Harare–Mutare transport corridor, served by both road and railway links between the capital and the country’s east. Cultivated ground, grazing land and areas of woodland define much of the surrounding rural setting. Mashonaland takes its name from the Shona people, whose languages and traditions form a central part of Zimbabwean cultural life. Macheke reflects this working, agricultural side of the country beyond its largest cities.
