Harare Sports Club

Harare


With Zimbabwe regaining its status as a test-playing nation, cricket fans should try to make it to this scenic ground surrounded by jacaranda trees. There's a pub right behind the bowler's arm, which enhances enjoyment when viewing domestic or international T20s, one-dayers or test matches. See the website for upcoming events.
