The National Heroes Acre, our revered shrine, is the pride of the people of Zimbabwe. It is a symbol of bravery and selflessness for those whose remains are laid to rest there. Towering and selflessness for those remains are laid to rest there. Towering majestically is the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, which symbolizes the final resting place for tens and thousands of Zimbabweans who sacrificed their lives for the sake of our freedom and independence, but whose remains are scattered in valleys, disused mines, caves, unknown graves and mass graves spread across the nation and in neighboring states. Zimbabwe’s war of liberation was the epic of the revolutionary spirit that characterize modern Zimbabweans. We are fighters, hence our own liberators- in every sphere, political, economic and social.

The Monument came under the custodianship of National Museums and Monuments of Zimbabwe in 1936. The Site is a short drive from Harare and has spectacular granite geological formations and a cave with late Stone-Age rock paintings. Major attractions include an Interpretive Centre, dusty rural landscapes, the rock art panels, sacred forests and wooded vegetation. The name is derived from dombo meaning "hill" and shava (pronounced shawa) meaning "red", literally translated as ‘the red rock.’ Probably the red and yellow lichens are where Domboshava derived its name.
