Budget & Tips

Prices are inversely proportional to the number of tourists. Thus, the luxurious stores in the city center will charge you for their location, while the markets located on the side of an isolated road are a priori less expensive than those located in town.

Don't hesitate to bargain (only in markets). The price is more a reflection of your tourist appearance than of the item itself. You should also know that bartering is very common. If the seller offers to exchange his statuettes for your T-shirt and shorts, don't be offended, and ask him for the wicker basket that you would reasonably refuse to buy. Remember that everything can be exchanged! Electronic gadgets, batteries, shoes, clothes, watches, original pens, calculators, radios..

What's very local

Stone carving is an internationally renowned Zimbabwean craft. In many stores in the country you can find sculptures of animals, faces, deities... The stones used can be serpentine, lepidolite, verdite or even granite. You should not be afraid of the weight of these objects. Most stores can arrange for these to be shipped to your home.
