Backpacking or travelling in Zimbabwe?

  • The better known homeland of the Victoria Falls (next to its little brother Zambia), the country of swinging and social and political protest music (chimurenga) and friendly people who are nice and easygoing and hospitable. It is an easy and safe country to travel, ideal for the traveller and backpacker who wants to see a piece of Africa without too many unexpected challenges.
  • Activities spotting: see the “smoke that thunders” or the Victoria Falls; go on safari in Hwange National Park; take a walking safari in Mana Pools National Park; visit the Great Zimbabwe Ruins for a glimpse into the history of the country; admire rock paintings in Matobo National Park; sail on Lake Kariba; dive in the Chinhoyi caves; experience the mountains in the Eastern Highlands; inspect the special historical collection in the Bulawayo Railway Museum.
  • Spotting animals: elephants, lions, rhinos, leopards, buffalos, wild dogs, hippos, crocodiles, zebras, African fish eagle.
  • Spotting food: prepare your lips for the… mopane worms (why not?), sadza, nyama, kapenta, chibwabwa, muriwo unedovi, maheu, chikanda.

Volunteering in Zimbabwe?

  • The same applies to volunteering as to internships in Zimbabwe! But the most unique are the options with wildlife such as elephant and rhino conservation, or monkey rehabilitation. There is also a lot of work in the field of education and healthcare.

Working in Zimbabwe?

  • It is not easy to find a job and local salaries are low. You have the best chance with international companies and NGOs/aid organizations.

Working as a digital nomad in Zimbabwe?

  • There is wifi, but there are also power cuts here and there. So make sure you are prepared for that and save your work properly. There is also a lot to do, but it can also cost you something!
  • Favorite locations: Harare, Bulawayo, Victoria Falls.

Living in Zimbabwe?

  • Living in Zimbabwe comes with lovely people, beautiful nature and facility challenges.
  • Number one reason to live in Zimbabwe is the natural beauty and wildlife and of course there are the friendly people and beautiful culture, but… make sure you are prepared for underdeveloped infrastructure, limited facilities (such as clean water and electricity) and a warm climate.
  • Education: there are several international schools available, but they can be quite full. So make sure you register your children on time.
  • Expat community: there is a growing expat community, especially in Harare and Victoria Falls.
  • Safety: Zimbabwe is one of the safest countries in Africa. But do read up on the local conditions.
  • Culture: music, dance, festivals, colours and lovely, hospitable people.
  • Health insurance: healthcare is limited and medical evacuations may be necessary. so make sure you have your own good health insurance.
