Currency and Multicurrency System (USD in Cash): Zimbabwe's tourism economy operates almost entirely on US Dollars (USD) cash. It is essential to carry USD bills in good condition (preferably issued from 2013, without tears or marks) and plenty of small change (1, 5, 10 and 20 USD bills), since change is usually scarce in local businesses and taxis. International credit cards are accepted at large lodges and hotels in Victoria Falls and Harare.

KAZA UniVisa and Border Crossing: For travelers planning to visit Victoria Falls and cross between Zimbabwe and Zambia (or take a day trip to Chobe National Park in Botswana), it is highly recommended to apply on arrival for the 'KAZA UniVisa' ($50), which allows multiple entries between both countries for 30 days with a single procedure.

Excellence of Professional Guides: Zimbabwean safari guides are considered among the best and most rigorously trained in the world due to a system of theory and field examinations that last between 4 and 7 years. Hiring guided walking safaris in places like Mana Pools or Hwange guarantees a world-class level of safety, botanical knowledge and wildlife tracking.

Health, Vaccines and Malaria: There is a risk of malaria throughout the year in low-lying areas and national parks (especially Victoria Falls, Mana Pools, Hwange and Kariba). It is essential to consult a travel medicine center to take antimalarial prophylaxis and use insect repellent with DEET. A yellow fever vaccination certificate is required if you come from an endemic country.
