Dete, formerly spelled Dett, is a small railway re-crewing depot and developing town on the Bulawayo to Hwange to Victoria Falls line in Zimbabwe. It lies about 300 kilometres north-west of Bulawayo and 67 kilometres south-east of Hwange, and it sits within Hwange National Park. Its role is tied to the railway, where train crews are changed at the depot, and its position inside one of the country's main game reserves gives it a setting unlike most railway stops on the line between the second city and the Victoria Falls.
