Languages
English is the official language of Zimbabwe. Other indigenous languages
spoken include Shona and Ndebele.
Please note that there is a huge shortage of petrol in Zimbabwe, so it is
advisable to use external airlines or private charters.
I would also suggest
pre-paying your holiday before departing for Zimbabwe as the inflation rate
is phenomenal!!

high charges. Travellers cheques are best taken in US Dollars or Pounds
