Motorhome rentals in Zimbabwe

A trip in Zimbabwe takes you through an attractive combination of landscapes. From the Highveld, Msasa trees, mountains and rivers to the most relaxed cities/villages. Zimbabwe is one of the places where you can admire leopards, lions, rhinos, elephants and buffaloes or too the big five. Zimbabwe with its 390 thousand square kilometers is about 9 times the size of the Netherlands and is completely surrounded by Zambia, Botswana, Mozambique and South Africa. The mountain peaks of Mount Mvurwi and Mount Chikonyora lie in the Mvurwi Mountains and along with the Mashava Hills, this ridge plateau provides most of the landscape. Zimbabwe can be visited year-round. The climate is exactly the opposite compared to Europe. From May to August is winter and from September to late November is the warmest period. The rainy season runs from early December to late March/early April. So the best travel time is from March to November.

The benefits of motorhome rental in Zimbabwe

Traveling through Zimbabwe by motorhome is a great adventure. This way you can explore this beautiful country at your own pace. You can determine your own route, get out wherever you want and for how long you want. You can spend the night at the most beautiful places, for example on a beautiful beach or in one of the many nature reserves that Zimbabwe has to offer. Of course the big attraction is the Victoria Falls, but Zimbabwe has much more to offer! At the end of the day you do not have to search for a hotel and the suitcases do not have to be packed and unpacked every time. Every night you sleep in the same bed and at all times you can prepare your own food and picnic wherever you want.

Preparations for a motorhome rental in Zimbabwe

Zimbabwe is a great country to explore by campervan. You can choose to make a big tour through only Zimbabwe or make a combination between South Africa, Namibia and Botswana. However, keep in mind the vast distances in southern Africa. It is wise to make a global planning in advance. We recommend an average of no more than 200 kilometers per day as a starting point. Campervan rentals in Zimbabwe always include unlimited mileage. Zimbabwe has a mix of subtropical climates. The southwest and the low-lying parts in the southeast have a warm steppe climate. The central part of the Matabele Mountains has a temperate China climate, the rest of the country can be classified as a warm China climate.

The motorhome rental during your tour in Zimbabwe

Would you like to rent a motorhome in Zimbabwe? Then you can choose from many different types and sizes of motorhomes. Each vehicle is equipped with a simple or in some cases a comprehensive kitchen with gas stove and refrigerator. Bed linen, hand and tea towels, cooking utensils, cutlery, plates and glasses are included. There is also a sitting area that often converts into a bed. If you do not wish to convert the motorhome every day, we recommend renting a larger model, where the sitting area remains a sitting area even at night. If you are going to make a combination between South Africa, Namibia or Botswana, we recommend a 4x4 campervan with roof tent. These 4x4 campervans are fully equipped for your adventure. We advise you to bring soft suitcases or bags instead of hard cover suitcases. Soft cases take up less space and are easier to store in the vehicle.

Driving regulations in Zimbabwe

Are you going to rent a motorhome in Zimbabwe? Then it is important to know the traffic rules well in advance. Driving in Zimbabwe is on the left. Therefore, be wary especially in the first few days so that you have time to get used to it. You are required to wear a seat belt and it is forbidden to drink alcohol before or while driving. In Zimbabwe the speed limit is 120 km per hour on paved roads and on unpaved roads the advisory speed is 60 and 80 km per hour. In built-up areas, maximum speed is 60 km per hour. In most national parks you must drive slower. For a criminal offense, the fine, along with the administration fee, will be charged to your credit card.

Motorhome rental in Zimbabwe

After arriving in Zimbabwe, you can rent a motorhome right away. It is a nice option to combine your campervan rental with a city break in Harare or Victoria Falls, for example. This way you can first spend 2 or 3 nights in Victoria Falls and visit sights such as the beautiful waterfalls, before picking up the motorhome and starting your tour of Zimbabwe. Zimbabwe has several depots from which you can start and end your trip. For an extra charge, it is possible to drop off 4WD motorhomes and residential mobiles in Botswana (Kasane, Maun), Zambia (Livingstone), South Africa (Cape Town, Livingstone, Johannesburg, Pretoria, Durban, Hoedspruit, Nelspruit, Port Elizabeth, Upington), Mozambique (Maputo, Vilanculos) and Namibia (Swakopmund, Windhoek, Walvis Bay) (costs on request).

What driver's licenses do I need to rent a motorhome in Zimbabwe

Would you like to rent a motorhome in Zimbabwe? To rent a car or campervan you will need - in addition to a valid European driver's license - an international driver's license. You can obtain this from the ANWB. All motorhomes on the GoTravelhome site can be driven with a B driving license. Sometimes campervan rentals in Zimbabwe have additional conditions regarding age or the number of years you have held a driving license.

Tips for your campervan tour in Zimbabwe

The infrastructure in Zimbabwe is well developed. There are a large number of toll roads. Always bring change for these. We recommend that you do not drive at night. There are generally no lights near the roads. Also the stripes on the road as you are used to in the Netherlands are often not present. You should not be surprised if there are people, cows or goats walking on the roads. During the campervan tour in Zimbabwe and especially in remote areas, take plenty of drinking water with you. Tap water in Zimbabwe is not drinkable unless specifically stated otherwise. Water is available almost everywhere. Gasoline and diesel are available in most towns and parks, with cash. Credit cards are not accepted at filling stations. Always refuel when you have the opportunity.
