Visiting Zimbabwe On A Budget: Here Are 3 Holiday Options That Wont Break The Bank
Growing up in Zimbabwe we saw affluent people mostly whites going on holiday with boats attached to their cars. I’m so sure I’m not the only one who would say, “when I grow up, I wanna go on a holiday too”. Now that we are adults, it’s almost impossible to spare a few bucks just to go for holiday considering the prices that are charged at most resorts.

On another note, there are some Zimbos living and working out of Zimbabwe, who come to Zim, visit their relatives and friends and never take a small break because they say holidaying in Zimbabwe is expensive. While it might be true that holidaying in Zim Is expensive, there are some options that may actually be affordable but still enjoyable and memorable.

So next time when you plan on visiting Zimbabwe, and you want to go on holiday but your budget is not so huge, try these options.

Located in the ancient historic town of Masvingo 300 KM out of Harare, Great Zimbabwe is a monumental place that offers scenic views, boating, canoeing, fishing, cultural activities and a bit of hiking.

Self-catering lodges for $30 can also be found in this town and one can travel safely by luxurious coaches from major cities.
Darwendale Dam – Located just 76 KM out of Harare, this place is magnificent.
