According to itypeusa, Zimbabwe is a landlocked country located in the south-eastern region of Africa and has a total land area of 390,757 square kilometers. Zimbabwe is bordered by Zambia to the north, Botswana to the west, South Africa to the south and Mozambique to the east. As per July 2019 estimates, Zimbabwe has a population of around 14 million people. The capital and largest city of Zimbabwe is Harare which is located in the northeastern part of the country. Zimbabwe has varied geography ranging from lowland plains in its western regions to high plateaus in its central region as well as long stretches of coastline along both its Indian Ocean and Atlantic Ocean shores. The climate of Zimbabwe is tropical with hot temperatures throughout most months of the year. Rainfall is frequent throughout all seasons but can be more abundant during wet season which runs from November to April each year. Zimbabwe has a long history with strong influences from both Bantu settlers who arrived in the region during ancient times as well as tribal peoples who lived there prior to colonization. It also has many unique customs such as its traditional music which includes instruments such as mbira and hosho as well as dance styles such as jerusarema which are popular activities throughout much of the country each year. Furthermore, Zimbabwe also boasts some stunning views including Hwange National Park which attract tourists from all over the world each year for its natural beauty and grandeur.  Zimbabwe is a country located in the southeastern part of Africa and has one time zone. The official time zone of Zimbabwe is known as the Central Africa Time Zone (UTC+02:00) and is 2 hours ahead of Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). This time zone is observed in all parts of the country, which includes Harare, Bulawayo, Mutare, Gweru and many more. During Daylight Saving Time (DST), Zimbabwe does not observe DST and hence its clock remains unchanged at UTC+02:00. This makes Zimbabwe one of the few countries in Africa that does not observe DST. Due to its location between East and West Africa, some people refer to this time zone as Central African Time or CAT Zone instead of Zimbabwe Time or ZWTZ.  See indexdotcom for Zimbabwe Energy and Environment Facts.
