Northern Zimbabwe Today
As Zimbabwe has been through a turmoil of news in the past few years, and a number of changes these months, here are a few FACTS that will set your mind at ease when planning your journey.
Lifting of Travel Warnings:
The US government lifted travel warnings on Zimbabwe in April. The Japanese government also lifted Travel warnings during the same month. Other countries are expected to follow suit in the near future. The Australian Embassy in Harare has recommended to its Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) in Canberra that Victoria Falls be taken out of its travel advisory against Zimbabwe, and it is hoped that they too will lift the entire travel warning.
Tourism Police:
To re-assure travelers to this part of Zimbabwe of their safety, Tour operators and other service providers initiated a Police sector that specifically addresses the needs of travelers. They are visible as they patrol the streets of Victoria Falls and ensure the safety of tourists.
Conservation:
The Tour operators in this part of Zimbabwe have taken the responsibility of Conservation of the environment upon themselves through initiatives such as the 'Friends of Hwange' and 'Wisdom 4 Wildlife'. Needless to say, all facilities have various 'Green programs' which encourage low energy use and wildlife-friendly development.
