Gwai is a village and forested area in the province of Matabeleland South, Zimbabwe, around 135 kilometres north-west of Bulawayo. The village is named after the local river, and the name derives from the Ndebele word meaning tobacco. The Gwai River Inn was a popular stop on the road between Bulawayo and Victoria Falls, but is now a shell following its destruction in a fire. The area contains a large hardwood forest known as the Gwai Forest Reserve, which is the other main feature of the locality.
