Exploring Zimbabwe’s rich cultural diversity and stunning landscapes is now easier following the recent launch of the Vhakacha Visit Zimbabwe application.
The application provides a GPS-enabled, voice-activated virtual tour that will enhance the experience of tourists.

The Vhakacha app is available for both iOS and Android. It allows users to download content and access it offline.

This means that travellers can enjoy guided tours of popular attractions without an internet connection.

The app features narrated histories, pictures, and interesting facts about some of Zimbabwe’s most famous attractions, including the Victoria Falls, Hwange National Park, and Great Zimbabwe Ruins.

It is the brainchild of entrepreneur Anesu Manjengwa, who is also behind the Sadza.com app and the Zimitapp, which is designed to connect local businesses with consumers.

“We want to ensure that everyone can navigate Zimbabwe effortlessly while learning about the rich history and culture of our beautiful country,” he said.

“With Vhakacha, we are not just offering a guide, we are creating a bridge between tourists and our local heritage.“

By providing easy access to essential information, the app aims to enhance the overall tourism experience in Zimbabwe.

“We believe that Vhakacha will not only enrich the travel experience but also support local economies by promoting attractions and businesses that might otherwise go unnoticed,” said Manjengwa.
