Harare - Post Report Question and Answers

What kind of vehicle(s) including electric ones do you recommend bringing to post, given the terrain, infrastructure, availability of parts, burglary/carjacking risks, etc.? What kind of car or vehicles do you advise not to bring?

Driving is right-hand drive, so only ship a car if it drives on the left side of the road. SUVs are advisable due to the potholes and generally rough terrain in many places. Toyota Prados are common and mechanics are used to seeing them. - Sep 2025


Whatever vehicle you can get when you arrive. If you don't arrive during the dominant transfer season, you are likely to be out of luck. Ideally, a 4WD with high clearance. Roads here are beyond horrendous. Bring extra tires. - Jan 2024
