Zimbabwe capital on the Highveld plateau at 1,490m elevation — English is official; the high altitude tempers the tropical latitude (mild year-round, 12-25°C). Avondale and Borrowdale are the upscale residential anchors; the central business district is the older commercial core. Zimbabwe e-Visa or KAZA UniVisa applies. The structural draws are temperate-tropical highland climate, English-speaking environment, and proximity to Victoria Falls (an 8h drive or 1h flight northwest) and the Mana Pools National Park. The structural friction is macroeconomic instability — Zimbabwe has run multiple parallel currencies; verify pricing in USD.
