FAQs
What language do they speak in Zimbabwe?
The official language of Zimbabwe is English. English is widely spoken and understood throughout the country.
What currency is used in Zimbabwe?
The currency of Zimbabwe is the Zimbabwean dollar (ZWL). However, it's important to note that the country has experienced significant economic challenges in recent years, including hyperinflation and currency fluctuations. As a result, multiple currencies are commonly used in daily transactions.
In addition to the Zimbabwean dollar, foreign currencies are widely accepted and used for transactions. The United States Dollar (USD) and the South African Rand (ZAR) are the most commonly used foreign currencies. Other major currencies, such as the Euro (EUR) and the British Pound (GBP), may also be accepted in some establishments, particularly those catering to international visitors.
Is it safe to visit Zimbabwe?
Yes, Zimbabwe is generally considered a safe country to visit. The government has taken significant measures to enhance safety and security for tourists, and the country has seen a notable improvement in recent years. However, as with any travel destination, it's important to exercise caution and follow basic safety guidelines to ensure a safe and enjoyable trip.
When is the best time to visit Zimbabwe?
Zimbabwe has distinct seasons, each offering its own advantages and attractions. Here are some factors to consider:
The dry season in Zimbabwe (May to October) is generally considered the best time to visit. The weather is dry and mild, with clear skies and pleasant temperatures. This is the prime time for wildlife viewing, as animals congregate around water sources, making them easier to spot. Popular national parks like Hwange and Mana Pools offer excellent game viewing opportunities during this period. The Victoria Falls also have lower water levels, allowing for better visibility and thrilling adventure activities like white-water rafting.
The green season in Zimbabwe (November to April) is characterized by lush vegetation and occasional rainfall. This is an ideal time for birdwatching enthusiasts, as migratory birds arrive, and the birdlife is abundant. The landscapes are beautifully green, and the wildlife gives birth to their young, providing unique opportunities to witness newborn animals. The Zambezi River and Victoria Falls have higher water levels, showcasing the falls in their full grandeur.
The green season offers a quieter time to travel, with fewer crowds.
