Health information for visitors to Zimbabwe
There are a number of health considerations to take before visiting any country, and Zimbabwe is no different. However, it’s good to remember that in places such as Victoria Falls, Harare and Bulawayo, there are good private medical facilities should they be needed. I (Beth) am cautious by nature, and yet as an ex-local to Zimbabwe, I view it as a fairly manageable destination in terms of health and safety.
