Wild Thing: Wild Thing!

by TracyG

Wild Thing is so tacky it is good. It gets very crowded but you always know that you can get cheapish drinks and a good dance. The music is conventional chart/dance and a good time is guarenteed. Really anything seems to go, but probably best to go smart/casual, as they do have door staff.

The Tube Nite Club: Dance the night away!

by TracyG

Cool by Western standards, and very cool by African standards.. A great mix of people flock here, for a great mix of music and atmosphere... Themed on a London Tube Station, hence the name. Smart casual and they are pretty strict.

Alabama's: Jazz in Bulawayo!

by TracyG

This is probably one of the best, and safest places in Bulawayo to enjoy a night out, a great jazz club, offering great music and a lively atmosphere. Should be smart casual, but I don't think they are too concerned, no open toe shoes though...

Explorer's Bar: Great place to meet people!

by TracyG

Explorer's is a great pub/bar that has the main sport on a big creen, and a great mix of music. This is also the place where most travellers come to meet up, so it really has a great atmosphere. Anything goes, as long as you have your top on...

by safardreams

In Zimbabwe's parks you are supposed to be back night fall. How can you when your watching the sun-sets someplace every eve!So, we were lucky to see this good looking LIONESS before us. Craig, our guide hasa huge spot light. Never shine into the animals face. Just near by for some light.Maybe the pic will come out, maybe not.10/1999 Gets chilly, bring and extra shirt on the late drive.

by ratcorp

Well. In Zim , I don't think that there are to many clubs to go to. Maybe a few in the major cities. Nightlife in Zim consists of sitting around a fire , 'braaing' (Like a Barbaque) meat and talking about the fish that got away. If you meet the locals at any spot in zim , just don't try and drink them under the table , THEY are HARD CORE drinkers. The Owls at night .. The sounds of Nature.. Just sit down and listen.. Turn off all your electronic equipment , the lights , sit in the dark and listen to Africa.... Zim can get cold , but its mostly HOT as hell.. Ussaly most Zimbabwians sleep during the mid day (or drink until they pass out ) Fishing consisted of us , Waking up at the Crack of Dawn , fishing until around 9 , Lazing around the pool until 3 in the afternnon , then back out fishing until last light.So wear somthing that can protect you from the SUN. Take sunglass's..

Playing 'laser wars' in Harare...

by anaiis

Playing 'laser wars' in Harare with your friends is not something I expected to happen in a third world country. But its great! Its a play, where you are running around, trying to shoot your friends with a laser dot from your 'gun'. After 5 minutes you are completely exhausted, so be prepared. If you are shot, it is completely painless (not like in paint-ball). We had a lot of fun!

by janiac

Well, not really night, but I would highly recommend the sundowner cruises, where you can cruise down the Zambezi river and see the plume of mist from Vic Falls, and the occasional sightings of hippos, crocs and elephants while eating local snacks and tanking local beers (sodas for kids, of course)Pictured are my friend, Tammy, and her kids and the sundowner host
