Zimbabwe is a landlocked country in southern Africa, bordered by the Zambezi and Limpopo rivers. The official language is English; however, the majority of the population speaks Shona. Despite a new unity government that was formed in February 2009 amid renewed optimism for change, and although the country offers popular tourist facilities in Victoria Falls, Great Zimbabwe, and selected game parks, much of country's infrastructure has collapsed, and Americans should carefully evaluate the decision to travel to Zimbabwe at this time.
