Zimbabwe is a landlocked country in southern Africa, bordered by the Zambezi and Limpopo rivers. The official language is English, however, the majority of the population speaks Shona. A new unity government was formed in February 2009, along with a formal acceptance of dollarization by the government that ended the country's period of unprecedented hyperinflation. Although Zimbabwe offers popular tourist attractions in Victoria Falls, Great Zimbabwe, and selected game parks, much of the country's infrastructure has collapsed and emergency medical care is very limited.
