The Balancing Rocks are geomorphological features of igneous rocks found in many parts of Zimbabwe, and are particularly noteworthy in Matopos National Park and near the township of Epworth to the southeast of Harare. The formations are of natural occurrence in a perfectly balanced state without other support. Their popularity grew when the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe featured the formations on the last series of Zimbabwean banknotes.

National Heroes Acre or
simply Heroes Acre is a burial ground and national monument in Harare, Zimbabwe. The
57-acre (230,000 m2) site is situated on a ridge seven kilometres from Harare, towards Norton.
Its stated purpose is to commemorate Patriotic Front guerrillas killed
during the Rhodesian Bush War, and contemporary Zimbabweans
whose dedication or commitment to their country justify their interment at the
shrine. Persons buried here are considered heroes by the incumbent Zimbabwe African
National Union - Patriotic Front regime, which has administered the
country since independence at 1980. Indeed,
most of the recipients of the 'hero status' were known to be Zanu-PF
sympathisers.The
actual monument itself is modeled after an AK-47.
