Zimbabwe: what you need to know:
While, in recent years, Zimbabwe has remained at the center of a
controversial political storm; it remains a safe destination for
visitors.
Although the tourism industry has been hard hit by the withdrawal of
mainstream tourists (Zimbabwe was for some time Africa’s premier
tourist destination); a large number of facilities at a variety of
stunning destinations continue to operate. The standards throughout the
industry remain extremely high. Those who do visit the country have the
advantage of enjoying a top rate holiday at extremely reasonable rates.
Zimbabwe has a summer rainfall pattern so the months from
November/December through to approximately April tend to be the warmer,
wetter months. The winter climate is cooler and drier but,
nevertheless, temperate with days tending to be warm and early evenings
and mornings quite cold.
Malaria occurs in many areas of the country (including the South East
Lowveld where Chishakwe is situated). Accommodation at Chishakwe is
fully gauzed and nets are provided over the beds. We recommend that
visitors bring repellants with them and that they seek the advice of a
qualified medical doctor before departure with regards to the use of
prophylactics. Summer months present a higher malaria risk while winter
months are low risk.
Chishakwe is accessible by road or by air. Please contact us
for co-ordinates or a detailed map and directions.
