It’s not too bad. Beware of petty theft and be aware of your surroundings. Don’t walk alone at night or in quiet streets. Try avoid the centre. I wouldn’t really hitch hike. Be very careful of driving here with the bad roads and bad drivers also the traffic lights don’t often work due to power cuts

Harare, Solo travel
I enjoyed my experience in Harare and did feel safe in certain locations, except for the CBD. The CBD can be a little unsettling, especially of its your first time in Harare. Overall, I enjoyed and accomplished my goals there.

I highly recommend a safari in Zambezi National Park. When I was there, we were always the only jeep on site, unlike other parks, which were crowded with tourists and full of jeeps. It was a truly unique, peaceful experience that allowed us to enjoy the animals and the landscape.
