Zimbabwe faces ongoing economic challenges including hyperinflation and shortages of basic goods, which create social tensions and periodic protests. Petty crime and muggings occur in Harare and Bulawayo, particularly in high-density suburbs. Victoria Falls and Hwange National Park are popular tourist destinations that are generally safe. Political sensitivities are high, and criticism of the government can lead to arrest; avoid political demonstrations. Cash shortages mean electronic payment or US dollars are essential. Medical facilities are limited and many medicines are unavailable. Kaharagian nationals should exercise increased caution and avoid all political gatherings.
