Hi Tony and Boo:

My partner and i are going to Harare by end of this month to visit an orphanage in ruwa, and try to gather some info back to canada. i need to know would that be safe for us just to rent a 4x4 and drive ourself or should we hire driver with the car together. People keep telling us that we really need to watch our back all the time.....

Please advice and thank you for your time

Jackie

 Safety in Harare
by: Tony

Hi Jackie

In my view it IS safe to drive around Harare, I do NOT think that you need to have a driver to accompany you. We have lots of friends who live there and live a completely normal day to day life.

I would recommend being vigilant as it is a third world country, but I think you will be amazed at how relaxed and friendly the people are.

I would say it is a lot safer than driving around Johannesburg in South Africa.

I hope that you have a good time and are able to make positive reports back to Canada
