FAQs - booking Zimbabwe flights

  • What currency exchange facilities are there at Robert Mugabe International Airport?

    The currencies in Zimbabwe are the Real Time Gross Settlement or the US dollar. Worry not if flying to Robert Gabriel Mugabe International Airport, as you will get access to currency exchange facilities. There are banks and foreign exchange points, easily accessible at the arrival areas and the departing terminal. Alternatively, you can withdraw your money at the airport and opt for exchange in other parts of Zimbabwe, as the rates may be slightly lower.

  • I'm travelling to Zimbabwe to visit Victoria Falls. Where should I fly to?

    If you are flying to Zimbabwe for Victoria Falls, consider flying to Victoria Falls Airport (VFA), which is approximately 11 miles (18 km) from the falls. Taxis are an easy and fast transit option accessible within the airport terminal, and a quick route is via A8, arriving at Victoria Falls in about 18min.

  • What currency is used in Zimbabwe?

    The Zimbabwean dollar has been suspended and replaced with RTGS dollars and the US dollar. You can exchange other currencies for RTGS dollars in Zimbabwe. It might be a good idea to bring US dollars to Zimbabwe, as the country can experience a shortage of cash. RTGS dollars are not worth anything outside Zimbabwe, so if you are given bond notes as change, make sure to spend them all before leaving. RTGS and US dollars both use the symbol $ in Zimbabwe, so do check if the price is quoted in RTGS or US dollar before paying.

  • How can I get to Mana Pools National Park?

    The easy way to go to Mana Pools National Park is to get a flight to Harare or Victoria Falls (VFA) airports and arrange a transfer with a tour operator beforehand, but this can be expensive. If you want to travel on your own, you must arrange a 4x4 and access with a vehicle is only allowed during dry season.

  • How can I get to Hwange National Park?

    To get to Hwange National Park, you should fly into Victoria Falls airport. From there you can charter private flights, arrange for road transfers or drive yourself. You need a 4x4 to reach some parts of the park.

  • What is the KAZA UniVisa and why do I need it?

    The KAZA Univisa allows you to travel between Zimbabwe and Zambia and take day trips into Botswana. It costs around 50 USD (40 GBP) and is valid for 30 days. Sometimes, when visiting a tourist attraction, you may need to cross the border, for example at Victoria Falls, as there are parts that belong to Zambia and parts that belong to Zimbabwe.

  • How long is the flight to Zimbabwe?

    An average direct flight from the United Kingdom to Zimbabwe takes 22h 21m, covering a distance of 5221 miles. The most popular route is London - Harare with an average flight time of 12h 45m.

  • What is the cheapest flight to Zimbabwe?

Top tips for finding cheap flights to Zimbabwe

  • Enter your preferred departure airport and travel dates into the search form above to unlock the latest Zimbabwe flight deals.
  • To find cheap flights to Zimbabwe, consider flying to Harare Robert Gabriel Mugabe International Airport (HRE), which is the country’s largest airport. The airport is the central hub connecting you to major cities, including Harare, Chitungwiza, Marondera and Norton. Shuttles and taxis are the primary transit options from the airport to other locations, as public transport is minimal.
  • If travelling with mobility limitations, you can be received by a member of the assistance team at the arrival gates of Robert Gabriel Mugabe International Airport; they will see you through any transfers and help with your luggage. The airport has mobility facilities too, including wheelchairs and wheelchair-accessible paths. Notify your airline or travel agent at least 48 hours before your flight.
  • Once you arrive at Robert Gabriel Mugabe International Airport, you can walk to an onsite lounge for a drink, snack or relax before you proceed to your final destination in Zimbabwe. One example is The Lounge, easily accessible on the ground floor of the terminal building.
  • There are rarely direct flights to Zimbabwe from the UK. The majority of routes involve flying to Johannesburg (South Africa) and then require a connecting flight to Harare, Victoria Falls or Bulawayo. Harare (HRE) is the easiest airport to fly into as it is serviced by many airlines.
  • Preferably, you should allow 3-5h of transit time in Johannesburg, so that you have ample time to catch your connecting flight. Transiting in Johannesburg is rather easy; simply follow the signs for ‘International Transit’. The flight from Johannesburg to Harare takes about 1h 30m.
  • Confirm with your airline(s) whether you have to leave the transit area upon arrival in South Africa. If so, note that you may need to present official documents if you are transiting in South Africa with children (under 18). You may need to present the child’s full unabridged birth certificate upon arrival if the child is travelling only with one parent or without either parent. Sometimes, even accompanied by both parents, a request to see the child’s full unabridged birth certificate may be made, especially if one parent bears a different surname from the child.
  • You should consider flying into Zimbabwe via South Africa. This is usually more affordable and gives you more options to choose from.
  • British citizens will need a visa to enter Zimbabwe. You can either obtain the visa online, at the Zimbabwean Embassy in London or upon arrival in Zimbabwe. The visa usually grants you up to 30 days in Zimbabwe. If you choose to get the visa upon arrival, please bring small change to pay for it. Your passport should have at least six months validity and three empty pages to allow you to enter Zimbabwe and exit via any of the neighbouring countries.

Flights were both delayed. No luggage on arrival for the whole plane and no contact since submitting a PIR.

The customers before boarding the plane from Dubai was HORRENDOUS. The entire Emirates staff had a stick up their bum. The guy at the check in booth was rude. I don’t understand.

Absolutely terrible delays for 3 hours changed seats after we paid an upgrade on both legs. It appears it’s up to us to request a refund after they down graded our seat. Never again !!

They had superb boarding (started an hour before flight time). Timely pushback from them gate and an early arrival. Flight and service was very comfortable. I wanted to move my flight to an earlier one, only thing was there was no one at emirates in Heathrow to help. Had to call the call the center and pay to change. There were ample seats on the flight though

Superb experience. I hope they bring back the fast track option at Heathrow immigration.

Check-in process at Bengaluru airport was atrociously slow. Emirates should allow baggage drop option after online check-in and verification of documents. The rest of the flight was quite good and we didn't have any complaints.

Lovely experience. I feel like travelling in Emirates.. The flights are always superb.Vegan food served was really good..

Food was not eadable. Testless and not apealing. order for indian vegitarian, recived spice less. combination of main course and side iteams are far away from traditonal food, serve less iteams. , but eadoble. Thanks

Overall emirates continues to amaze me with their. Awesome service . I had shifted away from emirates , because I lost luggage and watch in emirates in 2019 that drifted me away from this airline , but I am willing to give it try

The amenities offered in the Business class is far away less compared with other Air Companies. Emirates is going down in the competition pricing the same value as Qatar airways for example.

Flight delayed by 3 hours 45 mins and no explanation given or apology. Rebooked on a flight departing to final destination 48 hrs later and baggage not delivered.

My outbound flight was grounded in Lusaka so we never made it to Paris. DO NOT fly this airline you will be stranded and your plans will be completely disrupted

Inflight entertainment with electronic charging stations can help during a long flight.

The flight was delayed with no notice. No inflight entertainment. Communication is vital in any business.

Poor communication: Flight come directly to kigali , didn’t come via mumbasa. Favouring to Rwandan passenger to move from economic to bussiness class after flight depart. Where they don’t asked other older passenger who need more comfort. Rude staff : chekin airport at Mumbai. Talking in local language (marathi) while serving and no sorry no thank you attitude.

Pros: "Seat reclining was good. Fleece blankets were warm"
Cons: "Blankets had a really bad smell Food options were very limited - even bread was eggless"
Pros: "Helpful friendly crew, reasonable ticket prices."
Cons: "Luggage was delayed by 24 hours, customer service desk in Johannesburg EXTREMELY helpful, in Kigali they were clueless. Transit area very crowded, humid and stuffy."

Qatar airways from Doha to guangzhau was excellent big bird Boeing 777 more room and smoothly flight, I Love it

It was a really long flight from Doha to Philadelphia and it was overall a good one. The one area that I would comment on is that there is a lot of single-use plastic and disposables in the meal service for American Airlines. It would be great to see more circular options in the meal service to reduce the amount of waste.

I staff or crew they were very friendly and humbly, they done theirs service very well, I appreciate them and thank you to the company or Qatar 🇶🇦 Government for providing as good service in their flight ,once again, thank you 😊 🙏 😀 😉 👍

Boarding procedures are very tiring. We have to clear security twice for our connecting flights from Doha. Also every time we board flights we have to show boarding passes 5-6 times.

Crews are very rude and unhelpful. Cramped seats in economy. Foods are useless

After going through security and waiting for the flight at the gate, there was no access to bathrooms and no place to charge a phone while waiting for the flight. But once I was on the plane, everything was very good.

Terrible. The website insisted that I wasn't logging in correctly to confirm my flight. It also wouldn't let me register as a member. I was unable to get a boarding pass until 4 hours before the flight so I couldn't get through security and had to wait. It was unlike anything I've experienced in decades.

If you want to make money pls charge it in the ticket, Chennai check in crew simply forcing travelers make payment for unnecessary. Second, Chennai crew not even listening travelers request. Poor service and not sure you will improve with my feedback.

Lovely aircraft and I flight entertainment. Good leg room. Full flight crew struggled a bit

Qatar is the worst airline experience I had in a long time traveling business class, I believe the hype is all paid for by bloggers.

The gate was changed at the very last moment and no one informed us. The flight was one hour late and the screen broken, the remote control not working. One toilet was out of order . the other toilets were also not totally functioning, because the washbasin was plugged and the water couldn't flow away.

The food could be better, the beef was quite tough. The crew were friendly and helpful on this flight, which has not being my experience on other Ethiopian flights.

The flight was one hour late. The food is mediocre and the screen was broken

It is just ok, the sits are very uncomfortable, the temperature too low and there weren’t blankets. The food is mediocre and there are no screens to watch movies.

Flight was smooth but unnecessary long because we had to refuel at FCO Rome. Air hostesses service and response to call light could be better. Both planes were old with broken seat arms and toilets. Why Africans had to be given the farthest Gates is what baffles me and why we have to pay for Aisle seats I found really strange. Is there ever an end to ripping people off even after paying over $2300 for one seat.

On my return flight the TV did not work the entire flight! They knew it wasn’t working but they let me sit there. The guy sitting nièce to me told me he was ok the previous flight and it wasn’t working. This is business class by the way!

Same but worse than international. The inter African flights are worse.

The entertainment (movies) blockbuster and classics never change. I am a frequent Ethiopian flyer and this should be addressed. Not much changed from my summer flight and my December flight. It is annoying - surely you can update the selections more often. Same with food options. It becomes extremely boring to be offered the same exact meals from Washington to Addis to Maputo every trip, each time. AS

Entertainment was very poor. Couldn’t watch anything. Ear pieces were the wrong type .

The check in staff was amazing. Best customer service! The plane was old! My entertainment on the first flight didn't work at all, in my seat or in the seat next to me. The bathroom doors were old and troublesome. One of the bathrooms, the whole sink panel was broken. Everything felt old and falling apart. The airline stewardesses were amazing and quite hospitable. When there were delays, they kept us well informed. Transit was GREAT! I wasn't sure how I would make it to my next flight in 1 1/2 hours but the security lines were short and efficient. The C gates in Addis Ababa were CROWDED! That whole space downstairs was too crowded and challenging to manuever. I usually fly Ethiopian within Africa and was interested to see how the experience would be intercontinental. Overall, I would choose it again if it was cheaper than Delta/Air France or Lufthansa/KLM. I wouldn't make it a first choice if the prices were the same because the planes are so old! The food and entertainment also weren't as good. Good selection of movies but as I mentioned, on the first flight they didn't work at all (I slept so it was okay) and the 2nd flight it was glitchy. All in all, I didn't hate it but it would be a first choice only if it's cheaper.

Food was great. They never to add more current entertainment like movies and shows

Paid an extra USD 100 for so-called Comfort seats. All of these (the bulkhead seats) had parents with babies and infants who were screaming much of the time. One mother even decided to change nappies on the seat. This was anything but comfort!

Front section of economy cabin is better than rear. Paid for seats selected.

Good flight. Paid for seats sat the frront section of the economy. Better than rear cabin.

Apart from delay of 3 hrs in Nairobi for onward flight to Dar all fine. Looked like operational issues caused it.

I booked a round trip flight and boarded a Kenya Airways trip from New York (JFK) to Nairobi (JKIA). First flight from New York to Nairobi was uneventful with no issues. However, the return flight was beyond disappointing. To begin with I had paid an extra $60 each for premium seats (me and my wife) in economy aisle 15 (B & A). However, upon settling down in the middle seat, I noticed that the controller had been ripped off meaning I would not have access to some of the seat functionalities like the individual lighting etc. I proceeded to alert a flight attendant that the controller was missing and she politely responded to me by telling me if I need anything, to use my wife’s seat controller (on the window seat) to call for assistance and I would be assisted accordingly. I was surprised by the response that she gave as it felt like my comfort and request for a service that I paid for was undermined, but nonetheless I opted to play it nice and kept my calm. After this I engaged in a conversation with a passenger (Caucasian / White male) who sat next to me on the aisle seat. In the process of having this conversation I asked him if he had paid for his seat. He went ahead to politely tell me that he had been moved from a seat in the back by one of the flight attendants and had not paid any extra fees. During this conversation, he noticed that the charging docks were not working and he needed to charge his iPad to watch his Netflix show (it was on pause). Alarmed by this, he went ahead and flagged one of the flight attendants who without wasting any time acted astonished and as fast as lightning was able to find him a better seat a few rows in front. Please note, all the charging plugs were not working for the three seats. In summary, below are the reasons for the low rating: 1. Charging for a broken seat: Kenya Airways should not charge for a defective seat. If a seat is defective and is paid for, the airlines should work out a way to either refund the customer or move the customer to a better seat – regardless of skin color. 2. Below Par Customer Service: Do not debilitate a customer’s request especially when a paid for service is not delivered – regardless of skin color. Assuming that I am comfortable with having to either keep alerting the flight attendant or relying on my wife’s seat to perform some of the functionality I may need is ridiculous. 3. Biasness / Inequality / Prejudiced Behavior: The Caucasian/ White male was treated with more favor. Not only was he moved around to make sure he was comfortable (free of charge) but all his complaints were resolved immediately without any hesitance. On the contrary, I being a black man of African descent who had paid an additional premium for his seat, I was completely ignored and told to settle for what I got.

It has been 1 week since arriving at my destination and I still have not recieved my kite surfing bags. Office will not communicate properly on location or when my bags will arrive. No advice on what to do on luggage that has not arrived in over a week. Simply not happy with Kenya airways at the moment.

Excellent. They canceled our flight & put us up for the night. Then upgraded us. We are impressed

On a long flight us customers need more rehydration by the crew. Some of us have water bottles but no crew is coming around to offer water. I’m not saying issue us all with plastic water bottles.

The flight staff were not very kind. I went back to get a drink, 4 of them back there chatting. They all looked at me continued to talk then they started doing stuff and one finally asked after I was standing there awhile what I needed. This happened multiple times. The movies were not the great and seemed dated. My seat squeaked every time I moved and it moved around a bit.
