A landmark 360° rotating restaurant is now under construction at the Museum of African Liberation in Harare, marking a major milestone for the Liberation City Project and Zimbabwe’s tourism landscape.
Institute of African Knowledge (INSTAK), the brains behind the Liberation City Project, has announced that construction of a 360° rotating restaurant has commenced at the Museum of African Liberation in Harare. The rotating restaurant, which will be a first in Zimbabwe, will be installed on top of the fourth floor of the museum.
According to INSTAK, the project is scheduled for completion by 30 April 2026.
‘’The Institute of African Knowledge (INSTAK) — the Pan-African think tank behind the Liberation City Project – is pleased to announce a major architectural milestone: columns for Zimbabwe’s first-ever 360° rotating restaurant have begun being installed atop the fourth floor of the Museum of African Liberation in Harare.
‘’The restaurant, whose cylindrical design is inspired by traditional African clay pots, will be the highest dining venue in Zimbabwe by altitude, presenting guests with uninterrupted panoramic views across the capital city. This tourism and hospitality game-changer complements Liberation City’s educational, heritage and hospitality outlook.
‘INSTAK also wishes to advise the public that construction of the steel and concrete superstructure of the Museum of African Liberation is progressing according to schedule, and the contractor is expected to meet the completion target of 30 April 2026. This will be well ahead of Zimbabwe’s hosting of the African Union Mid-Year Summit in July 2027.
‘’The Museum of African Liberation is an enduring tribute to the continent’s liberation struggles and heroes. With support from His Excellency President Emmerson D Mnangagwa and the Government of Zimbabwe, the Project has attracted the endorsement and participation of more than 20 countries.
‘’The broader Liberation City Project incorporates Heritage Village, Liberation Mall, an African-themed Amusement Park, an Animal Park, a five-star hotel and world class Presidential Villas, amongst other amenities and attractions,’’ read the statement.
