Geocache Description:

This is the first geocache to be placed at this unique site. However, we promise we WILL be adding more.  The exploration of this beautifull historical site will require more than a couple of hours. It is our advise to you to take along a picnic lunch and spend the best part of the day exploring it.


Khami Ruins is an extensive complex of stonewalled sites that lies just west of Bulawayo. It was designated one of Zimbabwe’s World Heritage Sites in 1986. A small site museum provides useful background information to the site itself (still under renovation). There you can obtain a book on of the history of Khami wherein there are maps of the various walking trails you may take along with extensive information regarding the site.

Visitors are able to wander around the site on several paths taking in the site's unique cultural and natural heritage. Being a part of history that has long been neglected, please don't expect 'the best of the best'. The toilets were clean and even offered toilet paper.  The staff where very friendly and welcoming.  You can even ask for a guide to take you along the trails (recommended, but be careful about finding the cache in front of him/her. You don't want it to be muggled.) This is a part of the History of Zimbabwe you don't want to miss out on.

The site is guarded by the Z.R.P. and no known unsavory incidents have been recorded as yet.  However, it is still prudent to be vigilant and safety conscious as you never know when that may change.
