The country is landlocked and borders South Africa to the south, Mozambique to the east, Botswana to the west and Zambia to the north.
The name “Zimbabwe” refers to the country’s historical heritage associated with the Monomotapa Empire, where the capital was Greater Zimbabwe and the predominant population was the Gokomere people, the ancestors of the modern Shona.
