Knowledge is power, and thorough research is your best friend. Familiarize yourself with the local customs, traditions, and laws of Zimbabwe. Understand the current political climate and any potential safety concerns.
Make a detailed itinerary, including accommodation options, transportation routes, and emergency contacts. The more you plan, the better prepared you will be for any situation.
Preparation is key. Plan your trip thoroughly to minimize the need for aid from strangers. Avoid carrying excessive cash by pre-paying for accommodations, activities, and entry fees. Consider buying fuel coupons to find reliable fuel stations along your route.
Your intuition is a powerful tool. If a situation feels uncomfortable or unsafe, trust your gut and remove yourself from it.
Avoid isolated areas, especially at night, and be cautious when accepting invitations from strangers.
While Zimbabweans are known for their warm hospitality, it is important to balance trust with caution.
While it is essential to express your personal style, it is equally important to respect the local culture and traditions.
Opt for modest clothing that covers your shoulders and knees, especially when visiting religious or conservative areas.
This not only shows respect but also helps you blend in and avoid unwanted attention.
If you are using your own vehicle or renting a car , ensure it is well-serviced and familiarize yourself with its mechanics.
Avoid borrowing a vehicle with an unknown service history. Learn basic maintenance tasks like changing a tire and familiarize yourself with warning lights on your dashboard.
Carry essential tools and know how to use them. Do not embark on a solo trip with an unfamiliar vehicle.
Prioritize your safety when selecting accommodation. Opt for reputable hotels or guesthouses with positive reviews.
Ensure that your chosen place has secure locks, well-lit hallways, and 24/7 security. If you are on a tight budget, consider staying in female-only hostels or guesthouses that cater specifically to solo female travellers.
Embrace the local customs and blend in with the crowd. Learn basic phrases in the local language, such as greetings and simple questions.
This not only shows respect but also helps you connect with the locals and navigate your way around more easily.
Confidence is key when it comes to solo travel.
If you opt for public transport, avoid unregistered or illegal options. Consult with your resort or accommodation for recommendations on the safest public transport available.
Resorts are usually helpful in supplying guidance, so start the conversation well in advance to ensure a smooth and secure journey.
Keep your loved ones updated on your whereabouts. Regularly communicate with someone back home, especially if you tend to enjoy your own company for extended periods.
Let them know about your trip and keep constant communication. In case of any unforeseen circumstances, it is crucial that someone knows where you are and can raise the alarm if needed.
Find out which mobile network runs in the area you are visiting and buy a SIM card accordingly.
Having a reliable phone connection will ensure you can stay connected with your loved ones and emergency services if needed.
