Chitungwiza lies south of Harare and functions as a dormitory town for the capital, with most residents commuting in. It is densely populated and largely residential, formed from several older townships that grew together.
There are no formal visitor attractions in the town, whose character is everyday suburban Zimbabwe. Harare's museums, gardens and markets are the regional draw, and the Domboshava rock formations and cave paintings lie north of the capital.
Shared minibuses known as kombis are the main transport and run frequently into Harare. The commute is heavy at peak times, and local distances within the town are large enough to need transport.
The altitude gives a mild climate year-round, with a warm rainy season through the southern summer and a dry, cooler winter with cold nights. The dry months are the most settled for travel.
Zimbabwe uses the ZWG, calling code +263.
Zimbabwe's currency arrangements have changed repeatedly and foreign currency circulates widely in practice, so it is worth checking locally what is being accepted. English is official with Shona the everyday language, and greetings are extended and important.
