Is it safe to come to Zimbabwe, we have seen a lot about farm invasions, the break down of the rule of law, human right abuses and economic collapse?
Many people are tentative to visit Zimbabwe because of the negative press seen overseas, however it is our opinion that the political situation in Zimbabwe does not make it unsafe for visitors. Having said this, it is wise to not voice disdain for the current government in public, and to stay clear of any political rallies or large gatherings.
The lack of tourism in Zimbabwe over the last 6 years has been seen by some visitors as a stroke of luck as the game parks are free from crowds and the prices of tours are generally very reasonable as operators slash fares in an effort to attract the scarce few.
Some more advice:
Fuel Shortages: There is a serious lack of fuel in Zimbabwe, so if you plan on getting around by car be prepared to have to really work at getting fuel, either in long queues (by this it can be several hours to several days) or on the black market where you will pay a premium, and it is not always easy to find. There are buses and trains between most places and we can give you advice on how to book your travel plans.
