I really think there should be Domestic, SADC and International prices for all activities in Zimbabwe.
The pricing doesn’t make sense considering the salary of an average Zimbabwean.

It’s easier to love Zimbabwe when you don’t live here… just saying.
It’s so much easier to spend ‘outside’ money in Zimbabwe and it’s so so much easier to be patriotic when you don’t wake up every single day to the reality on the ground…
Zimbos are so quick tear down their own and most things Zimbabwean … our international image is rubbish yet 90% of visitors are pleasantly surprised about the reality on the ground. We need to do better!

Domestic Tourism is THAT expensive!
No amount of research and planning will change that fact 😭
Have you travelled around Zimbabwe? Researched the cost of holidaying to an average Zimbabwean income?
Let’s not let our privilege blind us to the point of calling others LAZY 🙏
Do you guys think our domestic tourism is THAT expensive?
I honestly don’t think so. I think our problem as Zimbabweans is we are too lazy to RESEARCH and the term PLANNING is not in our vocabulary.

Renting a car in Harare always turns out cheaper than getting Cabs🚕
Because:

Renting a small car = $40 per day (200 km/day)
