Masvingo Province

Masvingo combines the busy role of a provincial centre with the broad, dry bush country around it in a way that reflects its position within southeastern Zimbabwe. The city is the administrative centre of Masvingo Province and a practical base for the surrounding plateau. Nearby Great Zimbabwe, a UNESCO World Heritage site, preserves monumental dry-stone walls built without mortar and recalls a medieval city associated with the ancestors of the Shona. Lake Mutirikwi, created by the Mutirikwi Dam, brings a major body of water to this inland setting and supports irrigation in the wider area. Markets, transport routes and everyday urban life connect Masvingo with farming communities across the province. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of Masvingo.
