Bulawayo
Bulawayo was built on the ashes of the homestead of King Lobengula, the last king of the Ndebele people. He named Kobulawayo which is Ndebele word for ‘the place of slaughter’ in order to commemorate the battle achievements of his people. Bulawayo’s roads are wide and sprawling. It is a city lived by history, from the grand and long established Bulawayo Club to the Natural History Museum, the largest museum in the Southern Hemisphere boasting a collection of 75 000 animals and vintage steam trains.
