Jumbo is a village in Mashonaland Central province, Zimbabwe, set in the Mazowe valley about 10 kilometres north-east of Mazowe. At the 1982 census the village had 4,253 people. It grew around the Jumbo Mine, which was established in 1890, and ancient gold workings have been found in the surrounding area, showing that the valley was exploited for gold long before the colonial era. The village is a small mining settlement whose history is tied to that mine, and its position in the Mazowe valley places it in one of the older gold bearing districts north of Harare.
