Zimbabwe Tourism: Your Comprehensive Zimbabwe Travel Guide

Landlocked and in the center of Southern Africa, Zimbabwe has been an important trade center as well as the most strategic spot for British Settlement since the 18th century. This comprehensive Zimbabwe travel guide highlights the best of Zimbabwe.

With the British politician and businessman conquering the territory and taking possession of the mines, the area was named Rhodesia by the Queen. 

Initially founded as a British Colony called Southern Rhodesia, it gained independence in 1965 as Rhodesia. The following 15 years saw violent guerilla wars between the white minorities and black nationalists, which ended up in the foundation of the Republic of Zimbabwe in 1980. 

Initially appointed as a prime minister, the longest-running president was Robert Mugabe from 1987 until his resignation in 2017. During his authoritarian rule, he was held accountable for the increased mortality rate as well as the declining life expectancy and economy. 

In November 2017, his reign came to an end as he was put under house arrest after a coup d’etat. He was then replaced by the vice president Emmerson Mnangagwa. This created a tension between the supporters of Mugabe and those who opposed him.

The country is also home to some of the most striking examples of Victorian dry stone architecture that can be observed in ancient cities. This travel guide will provide detailed information about Zimbabwe’s hidden gems.

Zimbabwe Travel Tips

Weather in zimbabwe.

The winter or wet season is from November to April with peak rainfall in March and April. From July to October is the summer or dry season with mostly sunny days and cold nights.

Best Months to Visit (When to Visit)

The peak season starts in July and continues until September. This time of the year is a popular time to visit Zimbabwe because wildlife viewing is the easiest. It is also the ideal time for canoeing and rafting in the Zambezi River. However, it is also much more crowded compared to the rest of the year, so you might want to wait for October for the tourists to go back to their 9-5 jobs.

How to Save Money in Zimbabwe

• Besides the Small World Backpackers Lodge in Harare and Shoestrings in Victoria Falls, the backpacker scene hasn’t developed much. The other cheap form of accommodation is camping. It is best to bring your own tent, as you might not always find spare tents at the campsite. 
• Instead of using luxury buses like Intercape, you can use the local buses between cities to save up on transportation.
• Visiting during the winter (wet) season will save you between $500 to $1,500 on flight and accommodation.

Safety Tips: What You Need to Know About Zimbabwe Travel

• The political unrest is still ongoing in the big cities, even after the resignation of President Mugabe. There might be occasional violent protests, especially in Harare. 
• Petty theft is common in the cities, so do not go out alone at night. Also, try not to flash your valuables or look like a confused tourist with a map on one hand and a safari hat on the other.
• You must not disturb/feed/engage with the animals during the safari drives. This is critical both for your own safety and for the well-being and comfort of the animals.
• Zimbabwe is a Malaria-risk region, so we suggest that you consult your practitioner before you travel. For detailed information on vaccinations needed, visit here .

Culture & Customs

Zimbabwe has 16 official languages: Chewa, Chibarwe, English, Kalanga, Khoisan, Nambya, Ndau, Ndebele, Shangani, Shona, sign language, Sotho, Tonga, Tswana, Venda, and Xhosa.

The three most common ones are Shona, Nbedele, and English. The white farmers, who are a minority in the country, also speak Afrikaans and some European languages.

The most common currencies are Zimbabwe Dollars and US Dollars as the primary foreign currency. For detailed information about the exchange rates and how tourists can pay, visit here .

It’s customary to leave a 10% tip at the restaurants, as well as giving $1-2 to the car guards. Safari guides will also appreciate tips as well.

There are abundant of wildlife to view in Zimbabwe at the national parks or on game reserves. Ever since the Wildlife Conservation Act in 1960, the wildlife in this Southern African country has shown significant improvement.

There is an increasing population of buffalo, elephant, rhinoceros, giraffe, leopard, lion, zebra, and antelope around the country.

Getting Around Zimbabwe

Surprisingly, you have access to trains between the main tourist destinations . The most popular train route is between Bulawayo and Victoria Falls through Hwange National Park.

There are two types of buses: The Intercape and the local buses. The latter is cheaper and much less comfortable. See the travel costs section for transportation price information.

 Private shuttle and road transfer companies like Wild Horizons and Safari Logistics provide comfortable transportation to the national parks.

Entry & Exit Requirements

To visit Zimbabwe, you will need a passport that is valid for at least 6 months on the date of entry. Reservations, travel insurance and return tickets are also required.

There are three types of scenarios for Zimbabwe visa requirements , depending on your home country:

• You don’t need a visa (including SADC countries like South Africa)

• The Culture Of Zimbabwe

The landlocked southern African nation of Zimbabwe hosts a population of 14,030,368 individuals. The country has a rich tradition and culture that reflects the ethnic diversity of its population.

7. Ethnicity, Language, and Religion of Zimbabwe

The Shona and the Ndebele are the largest ethnic groups residing in the country. English, Shona, and Ndebele are the official languages of Zimbabwe. Around 13 minority languages have also been given the official status. Most Zimbabweans adhere to Christianity with the majority being Protestant Christians.

6. Cuisine of Zimbabwe

Cornmeal is a staple of the Zimbabwean diet. It is used to make the porridge-like bota which is flavored with peanut butter or butter and had for breakfast. Sadza is also prepared from cornmeal and consumed for lunch or dinner. It is also similar to bota but thicker. Sadza is served with vegetables, meat, and beans. Meat can be stewed, roasted, grilled, or sundried. Boerewors, a type of pork or beef sausage, is eaten frequently. Chicken and rice meals are also widely consumed. Braaied (barbecued) meat is popular during celebrations. The influence of the British colonization can still be observed in the culinary habits of the Zimbabweans. They have tea at midday and the 4 o'clock tea as well. Occasionally, they also have tea after dinner.

5. Clothing in Zimbabwe

Today, most Zimbabweans wear modern, western-style clothing. Traditional clothes are worn on a daily-basis by only a small section of the population. Such dresses vary between ethnic groups. Usually, the dresses have bright colors and tribal patterns. Elaborate tribal headgears are often worn. Bright and showy beaded ornaments also accompany such dresses.

4. Literature and the Arts in Zimbabwe

Although Zimbabwe has a rich and age-old heritage of oral literature, written literary works were absent for most of the country’s ancient history. It only developed after colonization of the land by the Europeans and the spread of the modern form of education in the country. The oral literature comprised of folk tales and legends, war stories and poems, heroic epics, historical accounts, etc. Many of the early writers of Zimbabwe made great efforts to produce the oral literature in the published form to preserve the country’s history and culture for the future generations. Today, Zimbabwean writers and poets explore various literary genres and produce publications that are often praised internationally.

Traditional crafts in Zimbabwe include basketry, carving, jewelry, pottery, etc. Stools carved from a single piece of wood and woven baskets with symmetrical patterns are among the most famous handicrafts of the country. The sculptures made by the Shona people have earned worldwide fame. These sculptures are made of soapstone or other harder igneous rocks.

3. Performance Arts in Zimbabwe

The music scene of Zimbabwe is rich and varied. It ranges from folk music to pop and rock. Music has played a very significant role in the history of the country. Some of the traditional instruments used to produce the folk music of the country include hosho, ngoma drums, and mbira. Music has always been an integral part of the religious rites of the Zimbabweans and often used to call on ancestral spirits. Music also played an important role in portraying the people’s desire for freedom from colonial rule. Zimbabwean jazz, sungura, Tuku music, Chimurenga music, etc., are some of the most popular musical genres in Zimbabwe.

2. Sports in Zimbabwe

Football is the most popular sport in the country. It is played both professionally and informally in the cities and villages throughout the nation. The national football team of Zimbabwe has won several international championships like the Southern Africa championship. Rugby and cricket are also popular sports played in Zimbabwe. The national rugby and cricket teams are quite successful. Other games played in the country include volleyball, netball, water polo, chess, cycling, squash, swimming, horse racing, kayaking, etc.

1. Life in the Zimbabwean Society

Although the Constitution of the country grants equal rights to both men and women, gender-based discrimination in the country is not uncommon. There are complaints that the law of the country is often more in favor of men than women, especially in areas of inheritance, marriage, and the conditions of part-time work. Although a significant section of the women in urban areas receive education and enter the workforce, those in rural areas are still confined to the traditional roles. Although both men and women take part in agricultural activities in the villages, women are also expected to perform the household chores and take care of the children. In urban areas, a significant percentage of women participate in the workforce. However, men predominate in the political and administrative fields.

Marriages in Zimbabwe are based on both individual choice and family arrangements. However, the former is growing in popularity. Polygamous marriages are not uncommon but are gradually decreasing in number due to the higher costs of maintaining more wives and children. Most ethnic groups are associated with patrilocal residence where the bride moves in with the husband’s family. Matrilocal residence can be seen in the case of the Tonga people. In urban areas, nuclear families are more common. Brideprice is usually paid by the groom to the bride’s family in exchange of their daughter. Divorces are not encouraged and often viewed as a stigma, especially for women.

Households vary in size from extended in rural areas to nuclear in the urban areas. In polygynous families, each wife lives with her children in a small dwelling within a large compound owned by the husband. Men usually rule the household. The eldest person in the family is also highly respected and his or her words are regarded as wise. A woman gathers respect as she ages and through her children. Inheritance is patrilineal in most cases and the property passes from the father to the sons.

Children are the primary responsibility of the mother. Other female relatives including older sisters also participate in childcare. Since children in the large Zimbabwean households are rarely alone, they learn social values, customs, and rituals from their family and community members from an early age. Gender-based tasks are taught to the girls and boys from the age of about seven or eight.

Education is valued but quality education is more easily accessible in urban than in rural areas. Also, fewer girls than boys receive the opportunity to complete school.

Éléments d’actualité

Politique intérieure.

Après l’indépendance le 18 avril 1980, Robert Mugabe, leader de la guérilla anticolonialiste de l’Union nationale africaine du Zimbabwe (ZANU), est élu Premier ministre, puis devient chef de l’Etat du Zimbabwe à partir de 1987 sur modification de la Constitution. Le 21 novembre 2017, le président Mugabe démissionne après trente-sept ans de présidence, dans un contexte de fortes tensions et de scissions au sein de la ZANU-PF entre les prétendants à la succession.

Le 24 novembre 2017, l’ancien vice-président et ministre de la Défense, Emmerson D. Mnangagwa, est désigné président par intérim par la ZANU-PF, puis élu président de la République lors des élections du 30 juillet 2018. Ces élections générales (présidentielles, législatives et locales) sont marquées par une très forte participation (85 %). Le Président Mnangagwa (ZANU-PF) est proclamé vainqueur dès le 1er tour avec 50,67 % des voix, contre 44,3 % voix pour son opposant Nelson Chamisa (Alliance MDC). A l’Assemblée nationale (270 sièges), la ZANU-PF remporte 180 sièges contre 87 pour l’Alliance MDC, 1 siège pour le National Patriotic Front (NPF), 1 indépendant, et 1 siège pour le MDC-T (faction de l’Alliance MDC présidée par Mme Thokozani Khuphe). Au Sénat (80 sièges), la ZANU-PF obtient également la majorité avec 35 sièges. L’Alliance MDC obtient 24 sièges à l’alliance MDC, le MDC-T, 1 siège.

Les prochaines élections générales auront lieu en 2023.

Politique étrangère

La diplomatie zimbabwéenne repose notamment sur la solidarité avec les frères d’armes, notamment les anciens membres de la Ligne de Front, qui se retrouvent au sein de la Communauté pour le développement de l’Afrique australe (SADC).Le Zimbabwe est aussi membre de l’Union africaine et du Marché commun de l’Afrique australe et orientale (COMESA). Dans les enceintes internationales et sur le plan bilatéral, le Zimbabwe s’oppose en revanche aux pays ayant pris des sanctions à son encontre à la suite des violations des droits de l’Homme commises lors de la réforme agraire de 2001 et des élections de 2002 et 2008 (Etats-Unis, Canada, Australie, Nouvelle-Zélande, Commonwealth). Le Zimbabwe n’a pas ratifié le Statut de Rome de la Cour pénale internationale (CPI).

L’Union européenne a adopté plusieurs « mesures restrictives » contre les individus et les acteurs privés jugés responsables des violations. Certains évènements (tenue d’un référendum constitutionnel en 2013, organisation d’élections générales en 2013 et 2018) ont toutefois conduit l’Union à encourager l’effort de redressement et d’ouverture du Zimbabwe et à initier, depuis 2013, une politique de réengagement. Cette politique s’est notamment traduite par un allègement des mesures restrictives (fin de l’interdiction de voyager en Europe et du gel des avoirs) qui ne sont plus effectives que pour l’entreprise d’armement Zimbabwe Defence Industries (renouvelé en février 2022). L’embargo sur les armes (et le matériel utilisable pour la répression) est maintenu. Les « mesures appropriées » prises au titre de l’article 96 de Cotonou sont arrivées à expiration le 1er novembre 2014 et n’ont pas été reconduites permettant l’intensification de la coopération européenne concentrée sur la santé, le développement agricole et la bonne gouvernance (le 11e Fonds européen de développement a alloué 234M€ au Zimbabwé sur la période 2014-2020). En 2009, le Zimbabwe a signé un accord de partenariat économique (APE), ratifié et entré en vigueur en mai 2012, qui lui octroie un accès exempts des droits de douane et de quotas au marché de l’UE.

Conformément aux lignes directrices adoptées par le l’Union Européenne en février 2021, l’Union Européenne demeure disponible pour réviser à tout moment l’ensemble de ses politiques au Zimbabwe en fonction des mesures prises par les autorités locales et de l’évolution de la situation sur le terrain. De leur côté, les membres de la SADC ont appelé à la levée des sanctions pesant sur le Zimbabwe.

Outre les pays européens, le Zimbabwe entretient notamment des relations avec le Royaume-Uni, l’Afrique du Sud, les Etats-Unis, la Chine et la Russie.

Situation économique

Dans les années 1980, le Zimbabwe est l’une des économies les plus développées et les plus riches du continent africain. L’Etat dispose de multiples atouts : puissance agricole (en particulier la culture du tabac) et industrielle, richesse en minerais (pierres et métaux précieux, nickel, minerai de fer), services publics performants. A la fin des années 1990, le programme de réforme mis en place par la présidence Mugabe entraîne néanmoins une chute drastique de la production dont les conséquences sur la croissance sont accentuées par les sanctions internationales. Le pays accumule également des arriérés de paiements importants vis-à-vis des Institutions Financières Internationales (IFIs), des créanciers du club de Paris et des autres créanciers comme la Chine.

Depuis octobre 2018, le pays fait face à une grave crise de change et de confiance dans la monnaie domestique qui a durement affecté le pouvoir d’achat des ménages. En 2019, le PIB s’est fortement contracté de 8,3%. L’inflation a atteint des niveaux à trois chiffres et la monnaie s’est fortement dépréciée. Les effets de la crise ont été encore exacerbés par la survenue de chocs externes : le passage des cyclones Idaï et Kenneth en 2019, les épisodes de sécheresse qui ont entrainé une chute de la production agricole et hydroélectrique (qui représente environ la moitié de l’énergie produite localement), la crise de la Covid-19 qui a accentué la récession et creusé le déficit public. La pénurie de devises limite également la capacité du pays à importer, notamment pour satisfaire ses besoins en électricité.

En 2021, le Zimbabwe est toutefois la 2e économie d’Afrique australe en termes de PIB derrière l’Afrique du Sud (26 Mds USD) et la 15e du continent. L’économie a rebondi, tirée par la reprise de l’agriculture et de l’industrie et par la stabilisation relative des prix (60,7% d’inflation fin 2021 contre 838% en juillet 2020) et des taux de change.

La crise a également joué comme un facteur aggravant des conditions sociales dans le pays : taux de pauvreté autour de 57%, insécurité alimentaire persistante, blocage des services publics. Le Zimbabwe était 150e sur 189 pays au dernier classement IDH.

The Great Zimbabwe Heritage Interpretation and Presentation Workshop

From November 7-9, WHIPIC co-organized the Great Zimbabwe Heritage Interpretation and Presentation Workshop at the Great Zimbabwe Heritage Hotel in Masvingo, Zimbabwe.

During the workshop

Approximately 40 individuals from various stakeholders attended the workshop, fostering collaborative thinking and sharing diverse opinions to develop a new and inclusive interpretation and presentation of the Great Zimbabwe Heritage.

The attendees included representatives from international organizations such as the United Nations and UNESCO, national institutions like the Agence Française de Développement (AFD) and the National Monument and Museum of Zimbabwe, and digital content development organizations and heritage-related professionals. This diverse gathering laid the groundwork for inclusive heritage interpretation and presentation.

Following the workshop, WHIPIC and the Great Zimbabwe University plan to incorporate the insights gained and formulate a new interpretation and presentation plan for the Heritage by the end of the year. Particularly noteworthy is the utilization of the definition and methodology of 'Heritage Interpretation and Presentation,' a product of the centre's research project,

to develop a new interpretation framework for the Great Zimbabwe National Mounuments.

Presentation of the ECB Annual Report 2023 to the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs of the European Parliament

Introductory remarks by luis de guindos, vice-president of the ecb, at the econ committee of the european parliament.

Brussels, 18 April 2024

Introduction

I am pleased to appear before this Committee to present the ECB’s Annual Report for 2023 [ 1 ] , a year in which the ECB consolidated progress in its fight against inflation. As well as assessing economic developments in the euro area in 2023, our Annual Report gives an account of the Eurosystem’s monetary policy and other activities conducted by the European System of Central Banks (ESCB). In response to European Parliament resolutions, it also includes a box explaining how the ECB’s secondary objective is considered in the conduct of the ECB’s monetary policy and reporting activities.

Today we are also publishing our written feedback statement, which provides responses to the European Parliament’s resolution on our previous Annual Report. [ 2 ]

In my remarks today, I will start by focusing on the economic outlook for the euro area and the monetary policy decisions taken at our recent monetary policy meeting. I will then briefly update you on our current financial stability assessment before going on to discuss the importance of a resilient financial system.

The euro area economy and our monetary policy

As detailed in the Annual Report, euro area growth slowed to 0.4% in 2023 after expanding by 3.4% in 2022. This slowdown was to some extent attributable to the economic repercussions of Russia’s war against Ukraine. The impact of higher interest rates alongside spillover effects from the weak industrial sector to services also weighed on growth.

Euro area headline inflation declined by 6.3 percentage points over the course of 2023 to reach 2.9% at the end of the year. The decline was broad based across all the main components of inflation, reflecting the fading impact of previous large supply shocks, lower energy commodity prices and tight monetary policy.

This year, economic indicators suggest that activity has got off to a weak start and will recover only gradually. Consumer spending is set to remain sluggish in the near term but should strengthen as real disposable income continues to recover. Private investment is expected to show continued weakness in the period ahead before the impact of weak final demand and tight financing conditions starts to fade.

Inflation has fallen further this year and is expected to continue declining in the medium term, but at a slower pace. Measures of underlying inflation have been easing but domestic price pressures remain elevated. Wage growth has remained strong amid robust labour markets but has been moderating recently, while profits are absorbing part of the effects of wage increases on prices.

The ECB reacted forcefully to heightened inflation: it raised its key policy rates by a cumulative 450 basis points between July 2022 and September 2023 and has kept them unchanged since then. We are determined to ensure that inflation returns to our 2% medium-term target in a timely manner. At our most recent monetary policy meeting on 11 April 2024 we considered that the key ECB interest rates are at levels that are making a substantial contribution to the ongoing disinflation process. Our future decisions will ensure that our policy rates will stay sufficiently restrictive for as long as necessary. If our updated assessment of the inflation outlook, the dynamics of underlying inflation and the strength of monetary policy transmission were to further increase our confidence that inflation is converging to our target in a sustained manner, it would be appropriate to reduce the current level of monetary policy restriction. In any event, we will continue to follow a data-dependent and meeting-by-meeting approach to determining the appropriate level and duration of restriction, and we are not pre-committing to a particular rate path.

Let me also give you a brief update on the operational framework review we concluded in March, which you have discussed on previous occasions with the ECB President. [ 3 ] The changes will affect how central bank reserves will be provided as excess liquidity gradually declines. The Governing Council will continue to steer the monetary policy stance by adjusting the deposit facility rate (DFR) and short-term interest rates are expected to evolve in the vicinity of the DFR with tolerance for some volatility. Liquidity will be provided through a broad mix of instruments, including existing regular refinancing operations as well as – at a later stage – new structural longer-term credit operations and a structural portfolio of securities. Our existing regular refinancing operations will continue to be conducted through fixed-rate tender procedures with full allotment against broad collateral, and the interest rate on the main refinancing operations will be adjusted later in the year to 15 basis points above the deposit facility rate. The key parameters of the framework will be reviewed in 2026 or earlier if necessary.

The importance of a resilient financial system

Let me now turn to our assessment of the financial sector.

During my last appearance before this Committee, we discussed the importance of maintaining a resilient financial system following the banking sector turmoil in the United States and Switzerland.

Since then, the euro area financial system has remained strong, aided by declining inflation. Confidence in euro area banks has benefited from strong rules and supervision. Banks have maintained sizeable liquidity and capital buffers, and non-performing loan ratios remain close to historically low levels. At the same time, firms and households have shown resilience in the face of rising debt servicing costs resulting from higher interest rates.

However, this positive outlook for financial stability in the euro area should not be taken for granted. It could face significant challenges if growth prospects weakened, inflation stayed above target for a longer period or further geopolitical risks materialised.

We are also closely monitoring developments in euro area real estate markets as tighter financing costs, a move towards hybrid working practices as well as environmental, social and governance requirements are likely to continue to put pressure on this market segment. Although mild signs of asset quality deterioration are becoming visible in commercial real estate (CRE) lending, risks to this asset class are broadly contained given that banks’ CRE exposures, standing at around 5% of total assets, are limited. Our Financial Stability Review, which is due to be published mid-May, will provide more details of our assessment on this.

To support continued financial sector resilience, legislators still have a lot of work to do in the coming years to close the gaps in our banking union. Besides urgent reform of the bank crisis management and deposit insurance framework, we must set up a European framework for liquidity in resolution and, most importantly, a fully-fledged European deposit insurance scheme. We also need a solid institutional and policy framework for the non-bank financial sector and we welcome the European Commission’s forthcoming macroprudential framework review.

Moreover, during the next EU institutional cycle, the level of ambition and commitment devoted to the capital markets union (CMU) agenda must finally match the urgent need to make progress. Completing CMU is key to strengthening resilience, enhancing EU competitiveness, growing our economy and achieving the EU’s policy objectives, such as funding the green and digital transitions. In this spirit, the ECB Governing Council recently published a statement on advancing CMU. [ 4 ]

As this parliamentary term comes to an end and a new one begins in a few months’ time, let me reiterate that the ECB is counting on this Parliament to support these efforts with ambition and commitment.

Thank you for your attention. I now stand ready to answer your questions.
