Harare Travel Guide: 54 reviews and 108 photos

In !994 we visited Zimbabwe as part of a trip to Malawi, Zimbabwe and Botswana. We arrived in Zimbabwe by bus from Malawi via the corridor route in Mozambique.

First of all we visited Harare. And after our trip in the country we ended also our journey in Harara, from where we had our flight back home.

Rukweza

We enjoyed it very much to meet the people of Zimbabwe and learn something about their daily life.
The best opportunity we had during our stay in a small village Rukweza near Rusape, south-east of Harare.

I don't know how safe Zimbabwe will be nowadays for travellers. The reports are varied. So check before you go.

Last visit to Harare: Aug 1994
