Harare Wedding Photo Shoot Venue: Botanic Gardens


The Botanic Gardens in Harare in the Alexandra Park area have long been used by many couples for wedding photos. The gardens are secure with a car park that can accommodate as many cars as those used for an average wedding. What has attracted many couples in the past about this phot shoot venue has been the well kept grass and shrubs all around the Garden. Our visit there just yesterday revealed that things have since deteriorated at the once wonderful Gardens. Much of the grass is overgrown. The authorities told us they have not been getting adequate desiel to fire their engines for the work. They have now tended only to manicure the grass is certain places that wedding couples use. The once refreshing pond with clear water is now over-grown with weeds and all sorts! Amazingly, many couples continue to flock to the Gardens for photos.


over-grown grass- this spot used to be one of the most excellent spots


maybe this spot might just work

our final verdict for Botanic Gardens - 5 out of 10

Should you still want to go there, no booking is needed in advance. You pay Z$100million [USD2] at the gate for 1 hour and an additional Z$25million [USD0.25] per car (regardless of how many occupants). By the way Botanic Gardens falls under one of the government departments.
