Pros and cons of Traveling in Zimbabwe

People: Zimbabweans are friendly and welcoming. In line with Foreign Office advice, safety is not an issue in major cities or tourist resorts.
Animals: Poaching has been a problem, but there is still good big five viewing in national parks such as Hwange, Mana Pools and Gonarezhou.
History: Cave paintings, the Great Zimbabwe ruins, the Rhodes Memorial - the story of Africa is here, from prehistoric to post-colonial.
Victoria Falls: The widest falls in the world offer a mix of high-adrenaline activities such as bungee jumping and white-water rafting, or cruises down the Zambezi.

Advantages of Booking through Afrizim

Food: There are few food shortages in the hotels, but self catering is a big problem
Petrol: Before the troubles, getting around was easy - the roads are in good condition - but fuel is expensive and in short supply. We have a ground operator in Victoria falls with a fleet of vehicles
Electricity: Power cuts are common, although not such a problem in resorts - back-up generators are available.
