Near the border with Somalia and 235 mi/380 km east of Addis Ababa, this 1,000-year-old town was once the home of French poet Arthur Rimbaud. At an elevation of 5,600 ft/1,850 m, it's in the middle of a coffee- and khat-growing region. (Khat is a mildly narcotic plant that is chewed for its stimulating effects.) The town has an Arabian Nights feel—city walls with gates and towers, mosques, twisting streets and a fascinating market (one of the oldest in Ethiopia—watch for the colorful basketwork). The main reason to go is to experience the ambience, but another attraction also draws tourists: the hyena men. These intrepid Ethiopians, for a few birr in payment, will call hyenas down from the hills by making wild noises. The hyenas then snatch pieces of meat from the men—sometimes from their hands or mouths.Free Harar

Zimbabwe's capital city, Harare is modern and pleasant. Originally called Salisbury after the then British Prime Minister, the Marquess of Salisbury, the city was founded in 1890 by Cecil Rhodes' British South Africa Company. It is dominated by a kopje—a hillock or pile of boulders, and it was from here that the colonial leaders surveyed the surrounding open plains and decided that this was a good place for a settlement. On 13 September, the Union Jack was raised on a spot that became Cecil Square (later known as Africa Unity Square after independence), and a 21-gun-fire salute was made to Queen Victoria. During the second anniversary of Zimbabwean independence in 1982, the city's name was changed to Harare. This was derived from the Shona chieftain Neharawa, who lived in the area before the colonials arrived.
Today, Harare has an easygoing charm, and the city is not as bustling and hurried as a metropolis such as Nairobi, Kenya, and we are thankful for that. The central business district is a neat grid of modern office blocks, intercepted by some older colonial buildings, and the broad streets are lined with flowering trees. There isn't a great deal to see and do—in fact, you can visit the highlights in one full day. But add another if you want to slow the pace and do some shopping. Harare has the country's best restaurants and several short excursions can be made from the capital.
