Introduction
Peru and Zimbabwe established diplomatic relations on 30 April 1986. Subsequently, on May 30 of that same year through Supreme Resolution 0283-1986/RE, the Embassy of Peru in Harare was established. For this purpose, the Government of Peru appointed Counselor Luis Sandiga Cabrera to make the necessary preparations for the opening of the Peruvian diplomatic mission. In June of that same year, the official was accredited as diplomatic representative of Peru to the Government of Zimbabwe.
During the time in which the Embassy of Peru remained open in Harare, until the disposition of its closure on September 4, 1990, there were three major events for the political-diplomatic history between both countries:
• VIII NAM Summit Conference (Non-Aligned Countries) in 1986; President Alan Garcia visited Zimbabwe.
• In 1986, the Peruvian government instituted every October 19 as the "Peruvian-African Friendship Day".
• An Agreement for Technical, Scientific, Economic and Commercial Cooperation was established in July 1988.
In this regard, below is an extract of the information that was collected in the 1986 Report of the Embassy of Peru in Harare, which gives a brief account of the establishment of the Diplomatic Mission of Peru, as well as some scope on the visit of former President Alan García to Harare on the occasion of his participation in the VIII NAM Summit.

• Establishment of the Embassy in Zimbabwe
On June 24, 1986, the Chargé d'Affaires, Mr. Counselor Luis Sandiga, immediately assumed his functions, and the Embassy of Peru in Zimbabwe was established.

Affairs.
On the first of July, Second Secretary Henry Rizo-Patron took over the duties of his rank in this Mission. On the first of September, the civil attaché, Mr. Victor Guzman, did so. Guzmán.
One of the immediate objectives for the opening of the Mission was the preparation of the presidential and ministerial visit on the VIII Summit Conference of Non-Aligned Countries, held in Harare from 28 August to 6 September 1986. Foreign Minister Allan Wagner arrived in Harare on 27 August. For his part, Peruvian President Alan García did so on August 31. Both stayed in Harare for about eight days.
The work of this Mission was in support of the Peruvian delegation. The circumstances surrounding the presidential visit did not provide an opportunity for members of the Embassy to participate in the conference itself, which went smoothly. Mention should be made of the appointment of Peru as Chairman of the Economic Commission, led by Ambassador Oswaldo de Rivero; the speech of President Alan García in the plenary, as well as his final sentences on the night of the closing of the Summit; and, rumors regarding an alleged aspiration of Peru to host the next NAM Conference. It is worth mentioning the meeting held between the Peruvian president and the Prime Minister of Zimbabwe, Mr. Robert Mugabe.

Nyami-nyami: The River God
In the Zambezi River basin between Zimbabwe and Zambia is the world’s largest man-made dam by volume of 185 billion cubic meters covering an area of 5 500 square kilometres and a width of 40km. Undoubtedly the most gorgeous sunsets in the world are found in Kariba for a calming zen effect on a sunset cruise and there are other activities found there such as tiger fishing and bass fishing, both which are annual international events.
