Simunye: The Spirit of Africa, is a modern artist’s reimagining of life along the banks of the Zambezi River, immersing the audience in the rich heritage of the tribes that occupied this area before modernization.

Steeped in the folklore and oral history passed down through generations, Simunye: The Spirit of Africa explores themes of human interconnectedness and human-wildlife coexistence, reflecting the values and harmonious way of life that characterized these communities.

Performed in a 195-seat outdoor theatre through vibrant dance and music, Simunye is set against the backdrop of ancient African villages and enchanted forests around them. The show blends contemporary and traditional dance and combines traditional instruments with contemporary music to create a unique soundscape. This fusion of past and present honors African music and dance while highlighting their evolution and relevance in modern times.

The show is an immersive experience, allowing visitors to witness the beauty and depth of African culture firsthand, as well as an opportunity to meet and greet our all-Zimbabwean cast after the show. It is a celebration of tradition and the enduring spirit of a people whose stories and values continue to resonate today. Tourists will not only enjoy a spectacular performance, but will also gain a profound understanding of the cultural heritage and wisdom that have shaped the continent.

Meeting Sustainable Development Goal 11 – Sustainable Cities and Communities, Simunye: The Spirit of Africa preserves local traditions, protects natural and built heritage sites and promotes cultural vibrancy.
