Zimbabwe, located in Southern Africa, is known for its dramatic landscape and diverse wildlife, much of it within parks, reserves, and safari areas.
On the Zambezi River, Victoria Falls make a thundering 108m drop into narrow Batoka Gorge, where there's white-water rafting and bungee-jumping. Downstream are Matusadona and Mana Pools national parks, home to hippos, rhinos, and birdlife. The country's rich history is showcased at the Great Zimbabwe Ruins and the National Gallery of Zimbabwe.
Harare, the vibrant capital city of Zimbabwe, serves as the country's commercial and cultural hub.
Harare boasts a blend of traditional and modern, with local art galleries, museums, and markets that showcase Zimbabwe's rich heritage and craftsmanship. The city's mild climate and friendly atmosphere make it a welcoming destination for visitors looking to explore Zimbabwe's diverse landscapes and wildlife.

When renting a car in Zimbabwe, ensure you have a valid driving license from your country and possibly an International Driving Permit.
Zimbabweans drive on the left side of the road, and it's crucial to be cautious of wildlife and livestock on rural roads. Speed limits and road signs should be adhered to strictly due to varying road conditions. Fuel stations may not be available in remote areas, so plan your trips accordingly. Always carry necessary documents and be prepared for roadblocks or checkpoints by local authorities.
Children must be secured in an appropriate child restraint or seat belt.
The alcohol limit for drivers is 0.08%, and exceeding this can lead to fines and legal consequences.
Speed limits typically are 60 km/h in urban areas, 80 km/h on open roads, and 120 km/h on highways, but always check local signage.
Driving conditions vary, with well-maintained roads in cities and potentially challenging conditions in rural areas. Be mindful of wildlife on roads, especially outside urban areas.
Zimbabwe does have toll gates on some of its major roads and highways, which are managed by the Zimbabwe National Road Administration (ZINARA).
Tourists generally find driving in Zimbabwe straightforward, especially in urban areas and on main highways that are in good condition. However, driving in rural areas may be challenging due to less maintained roads. Familiarizing yourself with local driving regulations and road conditions before your trip can help ensure a smooth experience.
If you need help while in Zimbabwe, don't hesitate to contact our office. In an emergency, the national emergency number is 999.
I got great service in Zimbabwe, at the International Airport of Harare!
This was my first time renting a car, but Green Motion made everything easy and transparent.
Car was a must for traveling around Zimbabwe. Green Motion's rental cars were amazing!
Everything was easy, and the employee even gave me some tips for my stay while picking up my rental car!
I have used Green Motion a few times before in multiple countries – and never had any problems.
