Zimbabwe Unlocks Tourism Potential: Lock Brothers Set to Boost Harare's Visitor Numbers
Benjamin Lock, one of the renowned Lock brothers, has expressed immense excitement regarding the ongoing developments at The Hills Luxury Golf Estate in Harare, Zimbabwe. His enthusiasm is such that he has committed to inviting his tennis and golf friends to experience the city's rapidly developing golf estate. Beyond bringing professional athletes, Lock also intends to attract property investors to The Hills, highlighting that professional sports personalities often seek investment opportunities in diverse destinations.
During a recent familiarization tour of the estate, Benjamin Lock enthusiastically declared his intention to bring his professional tennis and golf friends to Harare. He noted that it is a dream for many professional players to visit Africa and Zimbabwe, making The Hills an ideal location for practice due to its amazing facilities. November and December, crucial pre-season months for ATP players, would be their preferred time, as training in Harare is considered beneficial for physical conditioning. This unique opportunity would allow them to simultaneously engage in tennis and golf, both activities they deeply enjoy.
Lock's vision extends far beyond merely providing facilities; he envisions The Hills becoming a global magnet for international talent and significant investment. He emphasized that the dual offering of elite tennis facilities and a championship golf course positions The Hills as a distinctive destination. This appeal is not just for athletes but also for lifestyle seekers and property buyers interested in investing in what he describes as Zimbabwe's most ambitious luxury estate.
The Lock brothers formalized their commitment by signing an agreement with Westprop Holdings to establish a state-of-the-art tennis academy at The Hills. This partnership will transform the lifestyle estate into a vibrant hub for various sporting activities, including swimming, paddle tennis, five-a-side soccer, and many other genres. Inspired by global benchmarks, particularly Benjamin Lock's recent visit to Bali's Morotobi Tennis Centre, the academy at The Hills will feature advanced tennis courts alongside paddle courts, aiming to position Zimbabwe at the forefront of modern racket sports.
Benjamin Lock articulated the deep passion he and his brother, Courtney, share for contributing to Zimbabwe's development. He expressed his excitement at seeing the plans materialize, especially for the tennis centre. He reiterated their long-standing desire to create a world-class tennis centre for Zimbabwe and for Africa—a facility that would serve as an example to the rest of the world, demonstrating what can be achieved through strong partnerships and collaborations. Witnessing the vision and progress taking shape was, for him, truly incredible.
As an avid golfer himself, Benjamin Lock was particularly impressed by the rapid advancement of the estate's golf course. He remarked on its beautiful appearance and anticipated that the final product would be amazing, describing its completion as a
