ZIMBABWE
- Travellers Information - Access & Travel
Zimbabwe is still a fascinating and exciting destination to explore. The infrastructure is good and the people and very friendly and helpful.
How to get there:
International flights service both Harare and Victoria Falls. Bulawayo, Hwange and Kariba can be linked internally. A good network of major highways means that Zimbabwe can be readily visited and toured by road from its neighbouring countries.
Getting around the country:
Scheduled Flights: Daily scheduled flights link neighbouring countries with Zimbabwe. Domestic flights link Harare, Bulawayo and Victoria Falls. There are daily flights of one-and-a-half hours’ duration from Johannesburg to Victoria Falls.
Charter Flights: All charter flights are operated on a private basis, and are an efficient way of travelling between the major tourist areas of Victoria Falls, Hwange, Masvingo and Kariba.
Self-drive: In terms of infrastructure, Zimbabwe is an ideal self-drive destination, with either Harare or Victoria Falls as the starting point of an itinerary.
Driving in Zimbabwe - International driving permits and valid driving licences issued in Zambia, Malawi, South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, Lesotho and Swaziland are valid in Zimbabwe. A visitor from any other country may use a valid driving licence for 90 days or more (depending on the country of issue), issued by the competent authority in that country. If not printed in English, it should have a printed certificate of authority and validity, or a transcription of the text with the bearer's photograph attached.
Rules of the road: In Zimbabwe drive on the left hand side of the road and give way to traffic approaching on the road to your right at uncontrolled intersections.
At controlled intersections, motorists are required to yield to pedestrians crossing on a green light.
At all intersections, a fire engine, ambulance or police vehicle sounding a siren takes precedence over all other traffic; move out of its course.
The general speed limit in Zimbabwe is 100 km/h on open roads and 60km/h in urban areas, but watch for signs
Guided Safaris: We use preferred partners who can tailor-make itineraries throughout the country.
Trains: We do not recommend this mode of transport for travel within Zimbabwe.
