Kumusha Day Trip Blends Youth Empowerment, Cultural Pride, and Tourism Revival

By Positive Eye News Reporter

In a vibrant fusion of heritage, youth empowerment, and local tourism promotion, Best Events Planners, a rising event management company run by young Zimbabweans, is spearheading a cultural revival through an exciting day trip to Kumusha Village on the 5th of July.

The trip, pegged at just USD $22, offers an affordable and immersive cultural experience, inclusive of transport, entrance fees, a hearty braai, and a lineup of engaging activities. Set to depart from Joina City in Harare at 9AM sharp, the Kumusha Day Trip promises an unforgettable outing tailored for both the adventure-seeker and culture lover.

Attendees will enjoy game viewing, horse riding, canoeing, a skywalk, and a guided Kumusha Village cultural tour. These attractions not only highlight the natural beauty and biodiversity of the Zimbabwean landscape but also offer participants a chance to reconnect with the country’s rich traditional heritage.

According to Kelvin Hove, the founder of Best Events Planners, the initiative goes beyond leisure, it’s a deliberate effort to generate employment for Zimbabwean youth while building sustainable models of domestic tourism.

“We are driven by the desire to promote local tourism through creative and exciting experiences,” he said. “The Kumusha trip reflects what we stand for as a company, bringing people together, celebrating our roots, and empowering young people in the events and entertainment industry.”

Founded in 2023, Best Events Planners is fast becoming a force in Zimbabwe’s events scene, offering a wide range of services from school and group trips, to wedding and roora planning, complete with catering, sound systems, decor, DJs, and MCs. At its core, the business thrives on providing employment opportunities to youths who are passionate about hospitality and entertainment.

Through initiatives like this upcoming cultural expedition, the company is helping shift mindsets by showing that tourism is not just about traveling abroad but rediscovering the richness of Zimbabwe itself.

“Most importantly, this is not a trip arranged by some big international agency, this is a self-funded, community-driven experience built from the ground up by the youth of Zimbabwe,” said project coordinator Bradreck, another key figure in the organisation.

As Zimbabwe pushes forward with its national development and tourism recovery strategies under Vision 2030, grassroots initiatives like the Kumusha Day Trip serve as a compelling example of how young entrepreneurs are stepping in to revive and reposition the local tourism sector.

More than just a weekend escape, this is a chance to reimagine local tourism as a driver for economic development, cultural pride, and youth transformation.

Those interested in joining the trip are encouraged to secure their spots before the 1st of July by contacting the organisers at 0776 190 590 or 0787 915 973.

With the power of vision, unity, and youth innovation, the Kumusha experience is ready to inspire a new generation of travellers, right at home.
