Before flying back to Malawi I spent 2,5 hours in Shona Sculpture Gallery / Garden. I am impressed to learn about the creativity of Zimbabwiens of several generations! It is lovely presented with a lot of information. We had a very nice conversation and I appreciate the approach of the gallery, especially to support young artists in a close personal relationship.

Chapungu Sculpture Park is a bit off the beaten track, but is well worth a visit. Take time to chat to the artists themselves - not only are they incredible stoneworkers, but they are incredible storytellers, bringing each of their artworks alive with the inspiration behind them.

Be ready to walk into a very tranquil church in the middle of the busy city of Harare. The architecture is amazing and very colonial. Key features to look out for are the beautiful arches and the glass mosaic windows that illuminate when the sun hits them. The corridors that are on either side of the church are magical to walk in thanks to the arches. Wander around the courtyard garden and have a peaceful seat on the benches. When here, one cant tell that they are in such a busy city. Highly recommend and dont forget to leave a small donation.
