Zimbabwe opened Harare and Victoria Falls Airports to International visitors on 1 October.

Please Note:

All travellers will be required to present a PCR COVID-19 clearance certificate issued by a recognised facility within 48 hours of departure for Zimbabwe.

 All travellers will undergo health screening and temperature testing.

  Social distancing, hand sanitisation and the wearing of masks are mandatory.

At present the land borders remain closed, although are expected to open on 01 December.

We have the following information (although the flight schedules are subject to change):

International Flights to Victoria Falls
•    Ethiopian Airlines – Addis Ababa to Victoria Falls via Ndola on Wednesdays and Saturdays
•    Kenya Airways – Nairobi to Victoria Falls return on Mondays and Thursdays – effective from the 14th of December.

Domestic Flights to Victoria Falls
•    Air Zimbabwe – Harare to Victoria Falls return every Monday, Wednesday and Friday
•    FastJet – Harare to Victoria Falls return every Thursday and Sunday

•    All passengers are required to complete a COVID-19 contact-tracing document on arrival.
•    All passengers are required to present a negative PCR COVID-19 Clearance Certificate obtained within 48 hours before departure, in line with WHO Guidelines. If officials believe a traveller to be symptomatic, they may be required to undergo a further PCR test on arrival, regardless of the negative certificate. Symptoms include, but are not limited to, a fever and a dry cough.

•    An Airport Official will take passengers’ temperatures. Anyone recording a temperature equal to or higher than 38°C will be tested for COVID-19.

•    Travellers that test positive will then be required to go into local isolation for 10 days if they have no symptoms, or 13 days if they are symptomatic. Isolation is at the traveller's own expense.

•    After quarantine, travellers will need to be retested before they are permitted to travel home or on to their next destination.

•    Travellers are to adhere to WHO COVID-19 standard practices at all times, such as maintaining social distancing, wearing a mask and practicing personal hygiene.
