How safe is Zimbabwe for solo female travelers?
Travel safety index
based on 4 experiences from female travelers
Zimbabwe, Group travel
I felt safe in Zimbabwe even though it was expensive at times we never felt unsafe at any given time. Ubers were easy to access, some places you could walk to. The food was 50/50 for me I didn’t quite like it.

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.

Masvingo Province
Masvingo is a small and peaceful town with a low crime rate. You can move around town freely without worrying about being mugged or harrassed. It is safe to move around town in the evening, though most businesses are closed by 7pm.

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
