Khame Ruins are perhaps the best-kept secret among Zimbabwe's five World Heritage sites. Just a short 22-kilometer drive from Bulawayo, Khame once served as the capital of the Torwa state between 1450 and around 1683, following the abandonment of the capital at Great Zimbabwe in Masvingo. This historical site thrived as a trading hub, a fact that's evident from the fascinating artifacts unearthed here. The ruins weren't defensive structures but rather grand buildings meant to showcase the Torwa's wealth and prestige. Interestingly, evidence of human activity at Khame dates back an astonishing 0.4 to 1.4 million years to the Early Stone Age. Imagine walking through a place where ancient footsteps have been imprinted for millennia! The site offers a unique glimpse into the past, where you can almost feel the echoes of history around you. When you visit, take a moment to appreciate the intricate stonework that has withstood the test of time. It's a marvel of ancient engineering, telling stories of a sophisticated society that once flourished here. And if you're a fan of sunsets, the view from the top of the ruins at dusk is simply breathtaking. It's a perfect spot to reflect on the rich history that surrounds you.
