Masvingo" means "fort" in Shon, is a province in southeastern Zimbabwe is home to the Great Zimbabwe ruins, a World Heritage site and major tourist attraction. The province is largely populated by members of the Karanga tribe, who are the most populous tribe in Zimbabwe, and are a sub-group of the Shona speaking tribes that also include the Zezuru, Manyika and Ndau. The province is dominated by the Save, Runde, Mwenezi and Limpopo river systems which all either join or drain directly into the Indian Ocean.

Mopane trees, drought tolerant and sturdy, are found throughout the province.
