The Bulawayo Club building is a time capsule of a colonial gentlemen’s club. The building was erected in 1934. It remains an extravagant piece of Zimbabwean history. The distinction is still visible, showing the grace and disgrace of a bygone era.

The club is like a museum, with thousands of hunting trophies……
