A Case For Zimbabwe: Five Reasons to Go in 2010

1) No more US State Department Warning–this was dropped about six months ago.

2) The EU is resuming aid to Zimbabwe. Zimbabwe’s Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai has met with European leaders and Obama. Plus, Tsvangirai was shortlisted for the Nobel Peace Prize this year. He’s re-legitimizing the country.

3) Tour operators and camp and lodge companies can import whatever they need for the next two years DUTY FREE. There is huge investment coming in and many, many travel deals to be had.

4) Many camps and lodges that have been mothballed for years are opening for the July-October high season, and many more are scheduled to reopen for 2010.

5) You can have a better, more exciting safari here for less than the surrounding countries. The guides are the best on the continent, and whether walking, canoeing, rafting down class-V white-water, the game experience is unparalleled.
