GreatZimbabweGuide.com focuses on Zimbabwe travel and lifestyle, but there are many other useful websites on politics, literature and wildlife. Here are some websites that I can recommend for anyone with an interest in Zimbabwe.
Zimbabwe news and current affairs websites:
- The Zimbabwean – Current affairs newspaper, edited by Wilf Mbanga, a respected journalist who was declared an enemy of the people in his native Zimbabwe

- Trevor Ncube’s recent articles on Mail and Guardian – Comments from this respected Zimbabwean publisher
