KwaTerry, one of Zimbabwe’s most recognisable agri-hospitality brands, has introduced Village 6, a new rural retreat designed to offer guests an immersive overnight village experience. The development signals the brand’s growing ambition to position rural Zimbabwe within the global agritourism and cultural-experience economy.
A Local Vision With Global Parallels
KwaTerry’s expansion echoes a global shift where travellers increasingly seek authentic, community-rooted experiences rather than mass tourism. According to the UN World Tourism Organization, experiential rural tourism is growing at more than twice the rate of traditional tourism. KwaTerry’s Village 6 places Zimbabwe firmly on that map, bringing a uniquely African interpretation to the trend.
Sharing the news, Terry Maphosa declared, “Ladies and gentlemen, the KwaTerry Village 6 is here. Now you can spend nights in Village 6. The ultimate Village experience is here. Let’s go.” This marks the brand's evolution from a rural restaurant concept into a full agritourism ecosystem.
The KwaTerry Experience
The newly introduced "KwaTerry Village" offers overnight stays in traditional-style houses that are rustic yet comfortable. Guests can expect an authentic village atmosphere complete with modern amenities like private bathrooms with western toilets, blending heritage with comfort.
The restaurant serves traditional Zimbabwean dishes, such as muboora, nyevhe, and sadza rezviyo. The signature farm-to-table ethos ensures that organic ingredients are often sourced directly from local farmers, offering a true taste of rural Zimbabwe.
Beyond food and sleep, visitors can enjoy live cultural entertainment, music, and dance. The setting offers stunning views of the surrounding area, traditional decor, and indigenous horticulture, providing a complete sensory immersion into village life.
More Than a Business
For Maphosa, a 2023 Mandela Washington Fellow, Village 6 is part of a wider mission to show that rural Africa can be a platform for modern entrepreneurship. KwaTerry’s operations—from roadrunner farming to goat production—feed directly into the visitor experience, strengthening value chains and creating local jobs.
The initiative supports the local economy by sourcing ingredients locally, providing employment, and offering training opportunities to local youth in agriculture and hospitality. This model demonstrates how cultural authenticity can become a powerful economic asset for Zimbabwe.
