Best to travel
In autumn, winter and spring, (April to September). Winters are
mild during the day and cold at night, with almost no rainfall.
Electricity
Electricity is 220-240 V.
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!!
The major credit cards are widely accepted but will incur
high charges. Travellers cheques are best taken in US Dollars or Pounds
Sterling. Most Hotel accommodation must be paid for in foreign currency.
