Getting Around

Fuel shortages in Zimbabwe have made travel difficult in the past but this situation seems to be on the mend. The most effective mode of transport in Harare is still hiring a car. There are rental car companies based throughout the city, though taxicabs and minibus taxis are also widely available. The minibus taxis favoured by locals are cheap and go everywhere, but they are not particularly safe, while bus services are more practical for intercity transport than journeys within Harare itself. Parts of the city can be explored on foot, though walking after dark in the city is advised against.
