Introducing Harare
There are three main types of street scene for the visitor to Harare. The fairly orderly streets of ‘town’, with its high-rise buildings ranging from cool to quirky. There’s the quiet, green suburban streets (known as ‘low density’ areas), which heave with oversized gardens (with tennis courts and pools) spilling out over high, house-concealing walls onto handsome grass-and-tree-lined roads, which are busy with knitting uniformed maids, gentlemen on bicycles and snappily dressed school kids. And then there’s the transit routes out of town, dotted with designated pick-up spots and hoards of hopefuls waiting patiently for rides to their rural areas.
