Mashonaland Central Province

Mashonaland Central Province is one of Zimbabwe’s ten provinces, located in the northern and northeastern part of the country. Its provincial capital is Bindura, and it borders Mashonaland West, Mashonaland East, Midlands and Manicaland, while its northern boundary follows the Zambezi River and the border with Zambia.



The province has a mixture of highveld farmland, mountains, woodland and Zambezi Valley lowlands. Important areas include Mount Darwin, Guruve, Shamva, Mazowe, Bindura and Muzarabani. The northern part around the Zambezi Valley is much more remote and has a stronger wildlife/wilderness character than the agricultural areas around Bindura.
