Compare the best Zimbabwe car hire deals
The southern African country of Zimbabwe attracts few tourists, but those people who venture to explore it are rewarded with some wonderful experiences.
Why go?
Be sure to book car rental in Zimbabwe to make the most of your uniquely African adventure...
Although in recent years Zimbabwe's image has suffered due to its political history, it offers a unique African experience. The country encompasses semi-desert areas and picturesque highlands where you can see dramatic lakes and dense forests. Make sure not to miss the stupendous Victoria Falls, situated on the border of Zambia and Zimbabwe.
Zimbabwe car hire can allow you to visit the country’s many sites of interest. As previously mentioned, Victoria Falls in Matabeleland North should be on your itinerary. Don't miss the memorial statue to David Livingstone on the western side of the falls that was erected in 1954.
Cheap car hire in Zimbabwe allows you to really explore this exciting country. Remember that the drink-drive limit is quite low, so be careful if you sample the Chambuku and Shake Shake Beer. You will need an international driving licence to drive in Zimbabwe and a 4x4 is advisable if you intend to explore the countryside.
If you are planning to tour Zimbabwe, a hire car can be picked up at Harare International Airport (HRE) or Bulawayo Airport (BUQ). Car-rental offices can also be found in many downtown locations around the country. Booking car hire in advance of your Zimbabwe holiday will ensure the best rates, as well as guaranteeing the most suitable type of vehicle for your trip.

The Mana Pools National Park in the lower Zambezi River is a Unesco World Heritage Site. Here you can see a wonderful variety of wildlife that includes elephants, buffalo, lions, leopards and cheetahs and you can join walking or canoe safaris, depending on the season you visit.
Zimbabwe's other World Heritage Site is the Great Zimbabwe Ruins. This is one of Africa's most important archaeological landmarks on the site where there was a great ancient city. Visitors have described the ruins as magical, mystical and spectacular and they are certainly worth seeing. It is probably best to hire a guide who will ensure that you do not miss any important aspects of the ruins.
The Eastern Highlands stretch down the east of the country for 190 miles. They comprise the Nyanga range of hills where you will find tea plantations, the Chimanimani Mountains and the Bvumba range with its coffee plantations. This area is scenic and affords the visitor many opportunities for relaxation and peace.
Fishing in Zimbabwe is good all year round. There are tiger fish in Lake Kariba and giant catfish can be found in the Zambezi. Special fishing camps will attract keen fishing enthusiasts whilst other popular activities in Zimbabwe include horse riding and canoeing on the Zambezi River.
