Malwatte Restaurant: Amazing Gardens!
  • Tip Rating:
  • Restaurant Name: Malwatte Restaurant

    The day after we arrived in Zimbabwe, at the end of our South Africa trip, we enjoyed a 50-km drive through the countryside outside Harare. We stopped at the small town of Marondera to enjoy a really nice open air complex that included craft stores, a rose garden, horses and a restaurant. It was quite enjoyable to wander around under the African sun and just take it all in! We had a very nice lunch here before heading back into Harare. Near the end of our visit, we also went out for an evening meal at a restaurant in Harare itself. The three of us enjoyed our main course meals with wine as well as desert for 210 Zim $. For the traveller, the prevailing exchange rate means this evening out cost US$20 total (and that was in 1995 before things further de-valued). Now that is a good deal!

     Intelligent & honest overview on Zimbabwe, Glenn. Its a tragedy that the beautiful country has now descended into utter despairing chaos. I liked the helping hand tip. We had same in SA- lovely lady worked for us (and became part of family) for 14 years.)

     Hi Glenn, How did you find returning to southern Africa again after a long time away? We want to take our kids to Botswana and we're worried they may not enjoy it as much as we did. Email me if you prefer. Mike

     I'm with your feelings here, Glenn. As I read your page I found myself trying to contemplate life there just 13 years after your visit. Heard the other day they're now printing $billion notes!
