This article is based on the study carried out to establish the suitability of Zviyambe homesteads for Village tourism. The variables in the study addressed research questions that uncovered the number of people at each homestead, the way people in each homestead in Zviyambe small scale farming area use their land, the composition of the area‘s natural environment, the extent to which human activity in this area is in line with ecological principles, ways in which village tourism can be integrated to the present human activities in the area under study, the way in which Village Tourism would benefit the local communities and the possible challenges Village Tourism is likely to bring to the people in the communities that were studied. The writer carried out focus group interviews in this community and she also did participant observation. In addition, a documentary analysis was done. Findings revealed that there are over 400 underutilized homesteads in this small-scale farming area. The study also established that in this area there has always been a harmonious human activity with earth‘s biosphere. Through village tourism, the tourists can interact with the community, while the people will benefit from the nation‘s scientific and commercial expertise in conservation and the understanding of biodiversity and natural habitats in the area. Village tourism will also bring income to supplement the households‘ income in this area as the underutilized homesteads can be used as accommodation for tourists. Some possible effects of village tourism were identified. These include among others, the possibility of acculturation and exposure to undesirable habits brought to the area by tourists. The researcher came up with Recommendations and possible interventions by Zimbabwe Council of Tourism (ZTA), Ministry of Tourism and Hospitality, Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources and Environmental Nongovernmental Organizations (NGOs).
