A Japanese Television Broadcasting System (TBS) crew is currently in Zimbabwe filming a documentary on the country’s UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
The Tourism and Hospitality Industry ministry said the filming project followed strategic engagements at an international tourism exhibition.
“Global interest in Destination Zimbabwe continues to soar as the country’s exceptional natural wonders, rich cultural heritage and world-class tourism experiences attract increasing international recognition,” the ministry said.
The ministry said the documentary project was secured following business linkages established through a tourism operator who participated in the 2025 Sanganai/Hlanganani World Tourism Expo, highlighting the growing impact of international tourism marketing platforms.
The filming team has already captured some of Zimbabwe’s most iconic tourism sites, including the Mana Pools National Park, Matobo Hills and Victoria Falls.
The ministry said the production is showcasing Zimbabwe’s diverse tourism offering, ranging from wildlife and conservation to cultural heritage and natural landscapes.
“The production has captured the breathtaking wilderness of Mana Pools National Park, the iconic landscapes and cultural significance of the Matobo Hills and will conclude at the majestic Victoria Falls, one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World,” the Ministry said.
“Sponsored by Canon Inc and reaching an audience of approximately seven million viewers, the documentary is poised to significantly enhance Destination Zimbabwe’s global visibility, showcasing the country’s remarkable blend of wildlife, heritage, conservation and authentic tourism experiences to millions of potential tourists worldwide,” the Ministry said.
