That's a very beautiful and clean city, despite what the media projects it.
I'm from india and I'm very impressed.
Wishing for the better future of the country
Not very hard to surpass India in the cleanliness department lol
@@NapoleonBonaparde u better have visited the last ranks cities and states of india or just one of thr puppets of western media doing his job by doing bot comment
@@aryansharma9135 Nobody cares about India certainly not our western media
@@NapoleonBonaparde I’m from america and india is a growing economy. No one cares about France and stuff in media. Indians are taking all the jobs in your country. Your probably gonna end up working in Dunkin’ Donuts while they live in their New Jersey mansions.
@@NapoleonBonaparde it’s probably gonna grow to be a superpower higher then america.
Quiet city, not noisy, not chaotic and clean.. May Zimbabwe rise from the brink soon. God bless the people of Zimbabwe, amen....
Love from Zimbabwe! 🙏🏾
Rhodesia*
Thank you
Ya it was so much worse than the communist terrorists that took over
Rhodesia will rise up and prosper once more.
It's an peculier beauty city❤
Love from Dhaka, Bangladesh.
Despite the bad press, Zimbabwe is such a beautiful country and Harare is really nice. I went there from the UK for the first time to get married. We were so impressed and my family absolutely loved it. Highly recommended.
@h1mb oh really? You should visit and see for yourself. There are parts of Africa that look better than parts of the Western world. I remember coming back to the UK and very much feeling like I had taken a step down.
last time i checked, its Rhodesia
@@uroskostic8570So the last time you checked was 1980? Well welcome to the present, it's actually 2020 now and it's been called Zimbabwe for like 40 years.
Matthew Johnson why are you replying this ignorant guy. He’s just trolling!
@@kattwilliams6469 True story.
Nice video Bro thanks for showing us this beautiful country. Wish all the best to Zimbabwens
pleasant city in a beautiful country. I knew those streets 25 years ago. Look at all those new cars and BMW's. Not as impoverished as they would have you believe.
Am at awe at how beautiful and clean it is in spite of all the economic woes. It's no different from Windhoek, but Namibia has had very little economic pressure in comparison to Zimbabwe.

definitely reminds me of old Melbourne CBD
@@StreetDrilla probably because it was built by the same culture
@@Zure467 yeah, i'm raised in melbourne so the developed parts of Harare looks like I was there in my childhood
Yes, I remember it well. Lovely place and great video.
Thanks
Our beautiful home! Thank you for making this excellent video and thank you for visiting Zimbabwe.
Glad you enjoyed. Welcome to the channel :)
The city and park are so clean. I thought it had really gone downhill but everything looks week maintained. I was born here but left when I was only 3 to go to South Africa. I’ve never been back but now I’m older this video has given me some inspiration to return.
I saw in a documentary how after Independence, South Africa funded militias to destroy all railroads of Zimbabwe except for the ones that led to South Africa. The Port of South Africa was all the country had, so 2/3 of the wealth was at the will of Aparthied South Africa. They had a rough start, The popular independence activist became repressive dictator of Zimbabwe.
You are wrong about this SHELL of a country. Zimbabwe was never risen in the first place.. Rhodesia was.. So the differences are way back in Rhodesia there were fences that stood straight up, but in Zimbabwe not anymore, roads were in fantastic condition,, but not anymore, buildings had paint, many don’t anymore, Roads had paint markings on, not anymore, Roads were maintained and repaired long ago, not anymore. 99% of all buildings were built pre independence, not much infrastructure added since 1980. Quite sad actually that we have not been able to better or exceed what the colonials achieved in the time they controlled our country. Let’s face the facts. The colonials came to an empty land and built all this in 50 years, we have had it for 40 years and have not achieved much at all. We seem to be going backwards if we are honest with ourselves. Our roads are deteriorating, yet there are are five times as many cars on the road now than there were in Rhodesia. Where are our taxes going. They certainly aren’t going back into the roads and development. It’s the same in every government department, sewage spills onto the streets, electricity shortages, food shortages, hospitals are inadequate, trains don’t run anymore, filth and litter spread across streets and entire country, hawkers occupy the pavements where we were once able to walk, there is human waste in the ally’s and the stench of urine is overwhelming because public toilets don’t work or have not been expanded to cater for the population growth. It’s good you have done this comparison because it shows our failures to build and improve on. We need to stop kidding ourselves that the colonials are to blame for our problems and face the facts that our country is sick and dying because of the Fat corrupt Zimbabwean politicians that have become wealthy beyond our wildest dreams on the taxes we pay for the upkeep of our towns and infrastructure. The entire continent is broken, let’s be honest, we don’t do anything, we just watch or let others do the work. The Chinese are taking over. Big projects are run virtually entirely by the Chinese from architect to builder. We just watch. Even the Sheraton hotel in Harare was built by foreigners. We need to wake up.

Awesome city with progressive hardworking people thanks mate for the vlog
shame that the goverment is the complete opposite

Was so happy to see you touring harare city I was born in..I am currently living in Canada and its been long since I went back home.
Glad you enjoyed
Wow very beautiful from India🇮🇳
thanks for the video. been awayfrom home for nearly a ecade and this brought some memories
Glad you enjoyed it
positively surprised. The city is beautiful and very clean.
I hate to tell you this, but most of the impressive things you're seeing in this video aren't from Harare, Zimbabwe...they're from Salisbury, Rhodesia.
@@kayeninetwo3585 I hate to tell you this but only brain damaged degenerates still refer to Harare, Zimbabwe as Salisbury, Rhodesia
@@carolederent7638 The vast majority of those impressive buildings and infrastructure were built when the place was called "Salisbury, Rhodesia" (apparently by brain damaged degenerates.)
@@kayeninetwo3585 It seems the algorithm had the right mind to delete degenerate responses since I can't seem to see yours
It is clean and not congested. Gd Job Zimbabwe.
I am taking a different country every day and studying it for 10 mins. This made me stumble across your work and I love it. A small piece of insight that makes the world a brighter place. Still lots of work to do but overwhelming ourselves with what needs to be done can detract from the great work that has already been done.
Thank you Global Citizen
My pleasure glad you enjoyed. Welcome to the channel
Oh wow, thank you for wiping of the terrible picture on my head. Beautiful City, may the good Lord Bless it, and may it rise once again🌷
Thank you so much for this video! It's brought back so many beautiful memories for us
My pleasure
I spent a lot of time there in the 90s. Thank you for the video that has brought back memories.
Glad you enjoyed
Thanks for showing the beautiful city of Zimbabwe. Watching from Kenya
My pleasure
Rhodesia*
@@ajax1475 Colonizer pliz, Rhodesia is dead and buried, crawl back to your cave now
It was known as Cecil Square, not Rhodes Square.
To my surprise Harare Is beautiful and super clean
Funny way to spell Salsbury
@@uroskostic8570 stop it not 1970. You know damn well it name is Harare. Rhodesia is dead . No longer exist where it should be.
Lol there is not so many development from when it is salsbury tho
@@shaddythewiz3836 Rhodesians never die it’s salsbury
Sadly it is not as clean as you think... like a cat advertised in a photo it isn't so clean when you are there... we pray it will improve going forward.
This city looks way better than I expected
Man, the countries of Southern Africa are so beautiful, they look nothing like the rest.
@@JesusisGod.. Sure if you want to end up missing or get kidnapped for ransom money by close ISIS affiliates to fund their weapons and supplies.
Wanna know why?
@@joshr24 Because southern Africa has a very different culture. Just like east and west Europe are very different and have very different traditions
@@juuk3103 no it's because Afrikaners started building it
@@joshr24 No that has nothing to do with the cleanliness, the look of the city and culture.... Notice how clean the streets are... They make NY streets look like 3rd world countries. And it's all about culture and way of living, every country is different and have their own way of doing things, like I said look at European countries, you will have something like Norway completely clean, and fresh air recycling bins everywhere and nature, and then you will have Poland where people treat the streets like a toilet. Both are Europeans but very different culture. Uganda and Zimbabwe are miles apart in every way as an example.
Beautiful Harare Zimbabwe is my dream city to visit one day insha allah it's commercial hub of Zimbabwe 🇿🇼 🙏❤️
This is the most modern city in Zimbabwe, there has been little maintenance and no improvements in decades. But it does look clean and safe
Did you say THE most modern city in Zimbabwe?
Then... What about the rest of the country? How are they?
It seems like that to you because you are ignorant of the improvements taking place in that city.
Thank you for the video it's seems to be a beautiful place greetings from algeria 🇩🇿🇩🇿
Thanks, it was my pleasure
It is indeed one of the most beautiful places in Africa.
Wow amazing . Nice destination.
I like your laid-back reporting. It's so relaxing. Visit the crowded Copacabana market at the taxi ranks.
Your camera is good,really good ,nothing blurry.Awesome ,thank you bro
Thank you sir
This brought back many memories, as I lived in Zimbabwe for many years. It would have been good if you could have named more of the places, for example the Meikles Hotel, the National Museum , the Parliament Buildings near Africa Unity Square , the Sheraton Hotel and the High Court- too many places to mention . More information could have been given on the names of actual places in the city. Nevertheless, this is quite interesting.
Beautiful place.I would like to visit some day 🇧🇼
Wondarful City harare and nice video .
at 8:28 you can see the building that I used to work in 25 years ago
what could've been without mugabe
Rhodesia. The prospering bread basket gem of Africa.
Perhaps it would have been tooooo nice without mugabe who nearly completely destroyed it.
@@Arnz01 Rhodesia was never a bread basket of Africa...or anything
@@jimmycricket5366 But he’s the same person who lead the country to freedom. Without him we’d probably be still under British rule. He brought the country up but also down. Don’t just focus on the bad he did. He defended the country so many times without he’s knowledge and courage Zimbabwe wouldn’t be on the map.
@@fadziez783But Fadzie you mention "still be under British rule"... Don't you know that after many years of hostility against the British, full UDI from Britain was declared by Ian Smith in 1965. Then about fifteen years later was the Internal Settlement and then Lancaster House-‐ which was to Smith the pinnacle of the "Great Betrayal."
Did you not know that the British government was at war with Smith in a myriad of ways, particularly after UDI in 1965 and that war was not just full/maximum sanctions and embargoes, but by the late 1970's included military opposition from where the British were militarily based in Zambia, with Kenneth Kaunda's blessing of course.
Enjoyed your tour very much, thank you.
Glad to hear it
Beautiful and clean country. Greets from your Mozambican brother
what a beautiful city
Man this is amazing wat u are doing! Major respect
Thank you
6:43 that looks so much like the old part of Accra central 😱😱
I had many Zimbabwe pen pals, and they told me plenty.
Awesome vlog bro city looks beautiful
Thank you
wow didn't know Harare was named after a Shona village. Great research and information x
Glad you enjoyed
Actually it was named after a chief of the area.
@@jenniferkoo2206 in zimbabwe the chief name is also the village name so he is correct
Sad to see the palm trees no longer grow in the median on Jameson Avenue. I agree with Ama about the place names, and the square was Cecil Square, not Rhodes Square, by the way. I lived in Salisbury for 19 years, and saw in your video many colonial era buildings including Meikles and the Pearl Assurance building. I was back in 2017 for 4 weeks visiting my daughter and her family, sad to see the city has fallen on hard times due to economic failure and government corruption.
Nice and clean city
Very nice clip .
Thanks
It seems to be a very interesting location. It’s big and it has a lot of different spots.
Best wishes from Dortmund, Germany :)
Thanks
wow thanks for the tour
Glad you enjoyed :)
its crazy to think about how a bustling city can run without a main (bond note).
Se ve muy bonito, organizado y limpio, poco transporte me gusta.
Yous should visit Bulawayo,not as big as Harare,but also very clean and charming. A great city to visit on your way to Victoria Falls and Hwange National Park if your are driving to those destinations. ( By the way, Harare in November has the most incredible Jacaranda trees all in full bloom )
Maybe next time!
Bulawayo is a lot cleaner and safer than Harare. Life's good as long as you have Zesa and running water
I heard its a long way to bulawayo
Damn I miss home time to go back
Which Home? Rhodesia or Zimbabwe?
@@woodonfire7406 Colonizer please crwal back to your cave Rhodesia is dead and buried with its apatheid laws
@@woodonfire7406 Only degenerates and the lobotomised still refer to Zimbabwe as 'Rhodesia'
Beautiful city...from Bangladesh
Thanks for uploading this video. I never realised that Harare was such a nice city. I will plan to go here for my RUclips channel.
Enjoy
You are most welcome to come
Rise, O voices of Rhodesia,
God may we Thy bounty share.
Give us strength to face all danger,
And where challenge is, to dare.
Guide us, Lord, to wise decision,
Ever of Thy grace aware,
Oh, let our hearts beat bravely always
For this land within Thy care.
Rise, O voices of Rhodesia,
Bringing her your proud acclaim,
Grandly echoing through the mountains,
Rolling o'er the far flung plain.
Roaring in the mighty rivers,
Joining in one grand refrain,
Ascending to the sunlit heavens,
Telling of her honoured name!
I’m from Zimbabwe and I love going kariba
That water feature is symbolic of the whole country.
No, the part of Harare that I'm from is very wealthy. Every house in the part of Harare that I'm from are mansions with crops and livestock.. Even I have a double story mansion with corn crops and hens, turkeys and a cow. We even have water. If you haven't been here in Zimbabwe before, don't go talking crap about us.
Salisbury is such a beautiful city.
My African brothers and sisters, I wish Zimbabwe would become a first world country very soon.
This day will not come unless & until people like juluies Maleema & Robert Mugabe are present there
It used to be one.

In SA u wont walk around holding your phone like that..
Maybe that is why South African businesses choose to employ Zimbabweans over employing local South Africans?
@@Deontjie Nope you choose to employ them because they are very easy to exploit
@@KhayelihleNduli So you have not met me or my workers. Yet you know exactly how I appoint my workers. The fact is that 90% of Zimbabwean workers in South Africa are employed. How many of South Africans in South Africa are employed? Why this massif difference? And my Zimbabwean and Congolese workers are not my lowest paid workers.
@@Deontjie You seem to have very comprehension skills. I was not speaking about you specifically. But employers just like you tend to employ illegal immigrants because they easy to exploit it has nothing to do with black South Africans work ethic. Black South Africans are assertive, know their rights and aren't easy to control.
@@KhayelihleNduli But among black South Africans the unemployment rate is almost 60% Who can we blame for that? Shall we blame the unemployed blacks, the exploiters (whites), or the ANC government that steals everything they touch?
What a time it was
I love Africa. Happiness is not hard to find as you wander the streets of Harare. I live in the UK, a miserable place with a horrible climate and very unfriendly people. My dream is to return home to my beautiful Africa.
I wish they would rename some of those roads but there’s bigger issues to worry about
Rename for what? 🙄 What change would that bring
Para que? Los blancos hicieron esas calles.
Because renaming streets solves all problems right
@@kulhemhlongo they have been renamed anyway but its wiser to use old names considering those in diaspora to get the whole vision

I don't know how long it will take him, but I know it's about seven thousand miles from Cape Town to Cairo.
Very Nice Video 👍
Thank you
What a beautiful city and I am sure Harare has better roads than here Chicago.
Gary is worse. Even Ford Heights streets are better.
Nice City!!!
Yup!
So clean.
But what does "self ventilated' mean?
No roof?
The building has wholes in the walls. The wind cools the inside of the building
Every single building in this clip was built before 2000 and fair to say construction has been pretty much stagnant since! Symptomatic of the general decline in the economy as of that year...
Population is only about 15 million. You can't just keep on building new buildings everywhere.
@@ronakio Oh dear, missing the point...
Naturally that's because that's the CBD most construction is taking place away from the City center
Jay stop propagating lies. Some buildings are from before 2000. And some where built after. The country is beautiful and very clean. It's not so different from Johannesburg or Windhoek to be honest. And it's not so different from many African countries that don't have constant electricity.
@@maishamaisha5870 Can you point out the ones in the clip that were built after 2000?
So sad seeing the water fountains can’t even run
So that's your main take from this video? LOL whatever your ego needs as a boost
Harare needs more high skylines and good roads
No, thank you to the 'high skylines'. You can erect them in Senegal, Gambia, Nigeria or whatever part of west Africa you hail from, good luck to you. We don't want to turn into just another soulless, ugly city of steel and concrete. 😊
Love from 🇮🇩
Nice city
Hi brother nice city so thanks I'm Bangladeshi people
On lockdown now for 40 years!
You don't even know what you're own comment even means but seeing as it appears somewhat negative you've got 10 thumps-up so far from other people who are butthurt that the place doesn't look like a sh*thole.
@Crispin Seainston because you are one of them people who are enemies of progress because of ignorance
Colonizer pliz you jelous of our progress
Before I left Harare in December 2008 it was a violation of a by-law to record video without a permit.
Thanks for the video I instantly recognized the streets and the buildings, nothing much has changed. The streets are still clean.
you lie i hate the government but ..ther is nothing like that
you are the real deal thank you for showing us what the news papers tv media broadcast the bad images of 2 decades ago bad light and video quality it s not a jungle at all
Thanks. It was my pleasure
You don't pronounce the "a" in Salisbury as an "a". You pronounce it as an "o", as in "Solsbury".
It's more like sawlsbury. Not really an 'o' either as it's definitely not 'Solsbury'
I was born in RHODESIA in SALISBURY
Greetings from Morocco
Did you film this with a gopro?
Looks like downtown Orlando
Thank you. I have been on YT for five years telling people about Jesus, and I have a "sister in Christ" who is a born again Christian in Harare, so it was nice to see what her city looks like. I am in North Atlanta, GA. I believe that Jesus is coming any day to rapture His followers and then the Tribulation which is described in Revelation. God bless. Maranatha.
