By Air
For a complete guide to arranging airfares
to Zimbabwe, we recommend the "Flights for Africa" site
The
primary international airports are in Harare and Victoria Falls. The
national carrier, Air Zimbabwe provides unreliable scheduled
services between Harare, Kariba, Hwange, Victoria Falls and Bulawayo.
Private air charter companies use Harare, Kariba and Victoria Falls as
hubs for chartering into the remoter safari camps.
- For access
into Victoria Falls we strongly recommend routing via Livingstone in
Zambia
- For access
into Kariba and the lower Zambezi we recommend routing via Lusaka in
Zambia.
- In both
cases we can take care of local road transfers

hubs in Southern Africa.
By road
Zimbabwe has
an impressive road infrastructure by African standards particularly
between the major centres and within the Eastern Highlands. Car hire is
available but expensive - best suited for exploring the east and
south-east of the country. Victoria Falls and Kariba are connected by a
very poor dirt road within the country and the domestic airlink is
recommended - there are two alternatives, drive on the Zambian side (6,5
hours, potholed tar) or take the Kariba/Milibizi
Ferry (22 hours along lake Kariba).
By rail
The rail
network is not extensive, serving Bulawayo and Victoria Falls best. The
rail safaris between the two towns are very successful. |
