Scams to watch for in Zimbabwe
- Taxi overcharging and unclear faresAirport taxis charge a fixed US$25 to the main hotels, described as expensive for the short journey. Drivers attribute this to airport fees. For other journeys, getting in without agreeing a price leaves the fare unclear. An expensive fixed fare alone does not prove fraud.
- Opportunistic theft of belongingsSomeone takes advantage of belongings that are unattended or easy to reach. No specific distraction trick or pickpocket method is described.
- Demands for bribes at checkpoints or border controlAn official may seek an unofficial payment. Most police officers are described as professional and polite, but incidents of corruption and bribery can occur.
