Air Zimbabwe

An experience with Air Zimbabwe in November 2015

VICTORIA FALLS-KARIBA route


Two weeks ago a group of 5 travellers stuck at the Victoria Falls Airport. Their Air Zimbabwe flight was supposed to leave at 2.00pm to Kariba. The flight was delayed because of the heat. Finally the travelers flew from Victoria Falls to Harare, landed in Harare at 6.00pm and have been transfered by road to Kariba that same evening. Arriving in Kariba at 11.00pm instead of 3.30 pm!

Two days ago 2 of our travelers delayed at the Victoria Falls airport.  Their Air Zimbabwe flight was supposed to leave at 2.00pm to Kariba. The flight was delayed with no explanation. Finally the travelers flew from Victoria Falls to Harare, landed in Harare at 5.30pm. They stayed one night at the Rainbow Tower. They finally flew from Harare to Kariba the next morning. Missing one night of an extraordinary experience on the lake Kariba. 
Tomorrow, the same 2 travelers are supposed to fly from Kariba direct to Harare. We have just received the information that the time of the flight has changed and has been rerouted via Victoria Falls. So instead of a short flight of less than an hour our travellers will leave camp earlier and get to Harare much later.

Air Zimbabwe has managed quite well in re routing the clients, accommodating them when needed, ... but this is such a waste of time, such a stress for the DMC and the travelers.

Sometimes it is worth spending some more money on private charters to avoid this kind of experience.
