Travel tips
Quick local advice for smoother arrivals and day-to-day travel.
1
Zimbabwe pro tip: bring lots of small, clean USD notes—there’s often a shortage of small change, and you’ll feel it immediately on transport, small shops, and tips.
2
Refuse torn/damaged USD notes in change (even if the seller insists)—they’re commonly rejected later, which turns into annoying micro-problems all trip long.
