The School is in the City of Bulawayo, Zimbabwe, located along the Old Falls Road (i.e. road that used to link the city of Bulawayo with the Victoria Falls. It is only a stone's throw away from the famous Mpilo Hospital of Bulawayo. Mzilikazi High School is physically located between Greenspan Surbub (and Cemetery) and Mzilikazi Township.
