ELEPHANT’S WALK SHOPPING & ARTIST VILLAGE

Take a trip to Elephant’s Walk Shopping and Artist Village and enjoy hours of browsing around some of the best specialty shops Zimbabwe has to offer.

Meet and interact with local artists and craftsmen at work, creating uniquely Zimbabwean pieces; visit the jewelry studio to see our silver-smiths using the art of lost wax casting combined with antique African trade beads, or drop in on the taxidermist before wandering through our tropical gardens.

You can enjoy a delicious home grown Zimbabwean coffee and tasty eats at Brooks Cafe and if culture and history are your interest, then a visit to the Jafuta Heritage Center is a must. Here you will find a comprehensive collection of Zimbabwean artifacts, focusing on local peoples, historical records of the region and a curator who is also the local Nyanga and can ‘throw’ the bones for you if you wish! Entrance is free…

Take time out to do a beer tasting at our local craft brewery, or a wine tasting session at Victoria Falls Wine Experience.

Bag a bargain buy from the open-air curio market and if all that has been too exhausting, you can enjoy a relaxing spa treatment at the Elly Walk Spa. Something for everyone, all set in cool, vibrant tropical gardens.
