Due to the continued decrease in violence in the country FCO no longer advise against all but essential travel to Zimbabwe.
However, we do advise against all travel to high density, low income areas at any time and all but essential travel to rural Mashonaland, rural Mancialand and farming areas. The relevant summary point now reads:
'We strongly advise against all travel to high density, low-income suburban areas at any time; and all but essential travel to rural Mashonaland, rural Manicaland and farming areas. There have been a number of serious incidents in rural areas and it is dangerous for farmers or agricultural workers to visit former properties or other agricultural areas. You should also avoid areas where War Veterans are active. The situation remains unpredictable and incidents of violence across the country continue: it could deteriorate further, without warning.
