We are passionate about travel, we have been where you are, trust us, we understand! We are here to help with absolutely anything you would like to discuss on travelling to and in Zimbabwe. You can have a call with us any day of the week, just pick a date and time below:
Our Blog: It’s normal for travellers to have many questions and honestly, there is nothing like being over-prepared for a trip abroad and so in addition to our FAQs, we have tried to include many answers in each of our blogs. We cover a wide range of topics that we also ask when we travel, from when it is the best time to travel for an internship in Africa, the best hiking trails in Zimbabwe, the top coffee shops in Harare, and a day in the life of a medical intern.
Sustainable travel means innovating and maintaining eco-friendly ways to do tourism…
When thinking about travelling, most of us look to UNESCO for the World Heritage sites…
October has been exceptionally dry. A local idiom designates the suffering of animals…
So obviously you can’t just up and say,‘I’m flying across the world tomorrow’ …
We understand that it takes more than words to convince you. Here’s a look at what our past students had to say about their experience with us.
There is a short list of things we hate about travelling abroad & unfortunately international bank fees, inflated rates when taking money out at the ATM both make that really short list. TransferWise is that genius little brother (to PayPal) that allows you to have a debit card, several bank accounts in a few countries and wait for it… an exchange rate similar to what you see online. For free transfers of up to GBP£500
A valid passport, itinerary, exit ticket, and cash payment are required upon entry to Zimbabwe. If you have at least 8 weeks to departure, you can send your passport to the Zimbabwe Embassy in your country of residence for a tourist visa. We do not recommend getting your visa via the Embassy if you have less than 8 weeks to departure. Should you be unable to obtain your visa via the Embassy due to timing that is not a problem, you can get your visa at the port of entry.
For this, plan on waiting in two lines upon arrival for the visa; one line is dedicated to paying for the visa and the second line is dedicated to receiving your visa stamp. These lines can be long. Make sure you have exact change for the visa payment. Visa & MasterCards machines are available at some ports of entry, but we still recommend you move around with cash!
