The Meikles Hotel is conveniently situated in the central business and shopping districts of Harare, overlooking Africa Unity Square and the colourful flower gardens. Since 1915, this famous hotel has been renowned for providing a very special brand of service and attention to detail. Consistently voted as one of the best hotels in Africa and Zimbabwe's premier hotel.Meikles, consistently voted Zimbabwe's best city hotel, also consistently exceeds the expectations of guests. Meikles has 317 beautifully appointed deluxe rooms including luxurious balconied suites, various restaurants offering a wide choice in cuisine an elegant tea lounge, an "Out of Africa" bar that is one of Harare's most popular venues for a drink and a chat, 15 banqueting and conference venues, and numerous facilities including a solar heated rooftop pool with bar and snack service, a gymnasium, a sauna, a hair salon, massage and beauty parlour, up market gift shops, travel and touring services, airport transfers, a 7am - 10pm business centre and a high level of security in and around the hotel.Historical DetailsIn 1915 a charming hotel opened its doors in an elegant colonial building at the centre of the thriving city that is now Harare. The visionary who built and developed this hotel was businessman Thomas Meikle, whose name the hotel still proudly bears. The original Meikles, with its spacious, open verandahs, courteous service, value-for-money menus and comfortable accommodation, became synonymous with quality and friendship. "Meet you at Meikles" was and remains the recognition that there really is nowhere else in Harare that consistently delights those who seek nothing but the best. Meikles has changed dramatically over the years, with the 'new' Meikles regularly rising Phoenix-like from the dust of demolition, as the hotel adapted to meet the ever-changing needs of a growing country. Today's magnificent hotel is not at all like the high-ceilinged, two-storied colonial building of its birth, but Mr Meikle's original commitment to the highest possible standard of product and service has not changed. An enduring and much-loved feature of the history of Meikles is the legendary pair of lions now gazing out over Africa Unity Square from the north wing. The two lions were created in 1912 by Italian sculptor Euletto Jotto and for many decades were on the hotel cupola overlooking Sam Nujoma (was Second Street). Legend had it that the lions roared every time a virgin walked by.... The history of Meikles is tightly woven into the history of Zimbabwe as the hotel has consistently found itself at the heart of the political drama that has shaped this country, since the arrival in 1890 of the first European settlers. The first parliament of what was then the Colony of Southern Rhodesia met in Meikles in 1924, and the hotel has since then been a neutral meeting place for African nationalists, British Governors, Constitutional Negotiators, Prime Ministers and Presidents seeking solutions to difficult political questions. With them have come the world's press as well as Commonwealth and United Nations officials, Heads of State, Royalty and other guests of the Republic of Zimbabwe, at major occasions such as Independence celebrations or international summits.

Bulago is just over 500 acres. From tip to tip it is nearly 2 miles long. There are about 6 kms of sandy beaches and about 10km of shoreline altogether, the balance of the shoreline is made up of rocky outcrops and low cliffs. Around the shore the soil is highly fertile and is in places tree covered. The north-east tip of the island contains a small portion of rainforest. The interior of the island is less fertile and is covered with savannah-like grassland. It is intended that Zebra and some antelope be brought to Bulago where they may exploit the savannah-like environment in the interior of the island. LVSC is aiming to make the island as self-sufficient as possible. A number of local farmers are able to provide a range of fruit (Bulago pineapples are heavenly) and vegetables. Ducks, chickens, suckling pigs and goats are also available and the prices are very reasonable - a whole suckling pig for £8, for example. The fish - Nile Perch and Tilapia - can be caught by line or bought from the fishermen and is quite delicious. LVSC has established a small farm and various European vegetables such as courgettes, green beans and aubergines can be bought when available. Other goods, such as wines, meat and luxury items can be bought in Kampala. Basic essentials are cheaper than UK but luxury goods are more expensive. Activities Sailing on the lake is great fun, and a laser is available free of charge for the use of club members. A small sailboat or a windsurfer is highly recommended for owners and can easily be launched from the beach. Waterskiing and tubing is available through the Lodge or an owner could invest in a speedboat. One of the great pleasures of Bulago is the sheer range and diversity of walks available and with two dominating hills on the island, the views can be magnificent. The size of the island means that walks can range from quick strolls through to full-blown hikes.Bird watching is another great past-time on Bulago and the range of birds is dazzling - even to non-twitchers. Ngamba Island chimpanzee sanctuary is located just 4 miles south of Bulago Island. Ngamba, known locally as Chimp Island, is home to 30 orphaned chimpanzees and is run by the Jane Goodall Trust. Horses thrive on the island and there are currently two Somali ponies used for riding. LVSC can provide a livery service if an owner wished to purchase a horse (about £750 landed on Bulago), or the ponies - more are planned soon - can be hired for trekking. It is intended that donkeys and carts will soon be available on Bulago for transport and pleasure rides. LVSC does not wish to encourage motorised transport, although there is a degree of flexibility if there is good reason. Currently, there is a policy of prohibiting two stroke engines on the island and jetskis are not allowed; this is quite simply to preserve the essential peace and tranquillity of the Island.
