The story behind the place

The Chiremba Balancing Rocks stand southeast of Harare. Broad, irregular boulders meet at narrower contacts, creating a profile that appears surprising even though the stones remain connected. The formation’s weathered surfaces and uneven outlines distinguish it from a sculpture or masonry structure. Reading the contacts and layers helps reveal the physical form behind the familiar silhouette. The named group is one part of a larger rocky setting at Epworth.
