Zimbabwe's Biodiversity is astounding, with flora and fauna that is beautiful, the landscape so varied that each area has formed its own different micro climate.

There are 6 regions in Southern Africa that can be classified as having unique flora and fauna in that geographical location and Zimbabwe so happens to be in the middle of the one region tha is regarded as the richest in terms of biodiversity.
