It is certainly possible to buy a vehicle in Zim and leave it there, much easier that buying one in SA and importing it. Two problems I can see you having 1) There are not many vehicles for sale in that area. Any sales are by word of mouth, there are no car sales yards as such in Victoria falls. You could go through to Bulawayo or Harare and have a much bigger selection. 2) Place to leave the vehicle, unless you have friends there it might be difficult to find somewhere to leave the vehicle. I managed to leave my 4x4 at Rest Camp for some months for a small charge they might let you do the same. You could speak to Olga the manageress.
Let me know how you get on, if you want I can forward details of any 4x4 vehicles for sale when they do come up.
