By Air
The primary international airports are in Harare and Victoria Falls. The national carrier, Air Zimbabwe provides reasonably reliable scheduled services between Harare, Kariba, Hwange, Victoria Falls and Bulawayo. Private air charter companies use Harare, Kariba and Victoria Falls as hubs for chartering into the remoter safari camps.

By road
Zimbabwe has an impressive road infrastructure by African standards particularly between the major centres and within the Eastern Highlands. Car hire is available but expensive - best suited for exploring the east and south-east of the country. Victoria Falls and Kariba are connected by a very poor dirt road within the country and the domestic airlink is recommended - there are two alternatives, drive on the Zambian side (6,5 hours, potholed tar) or take the Kariba/Milibizi Ferry (22 hours along lake Kariba).

By rail
The rail network is not extensive, serving Bulawayo and Victoria Falls best. The rail safaris between the two towns are very successful.
