Western Zimbabwe Travel Guide

The name Bulawayo means 'Place of Slaughter', a reference, it is thought to the fierce battles that took place in the late nineteenth century. Bulawayo is Zimbabwe's second largest city. It has wide tree-lined streets and avenues. As with other Colonial African cities, the streets are very wide. In fact, as in Harare, they are broad enough to allow a full team of oxen, twenty-four pairs, to make a 180 degree turn. So there is a feeling of space. A visit to the Railway Museum.is a must. The museum lies at the back of Bulawayo station. This museum was opened to the public on 4th November 1972, exactly seventy-five years after the arrival in Bulawayo of the first train. Bulawayo has remained the railway centre of Zimbabwe ever since those early days. One of the exhibits is Cecil Rhodes's beautifully preserved private Pullman coach. After his death in 1902, the coach carried Rhodes's body from the Cape to Bulawayo. Other exhibits include menus and table settings from the British Royal Train of 1953.
