Electronic visa application for Zimbabwe

in Wildlife Odyssey: South Africa, Botswana & Zimbabwe

My family and I are taking this tour in October. Does anyone have any recent experience with applying for your Zimbabwe visa before arriving? I have read many mixed reviews on the process elsewhere with the majority concluding it wasn’t worth doing ahead of time and easier just to apply in person upon arrival.

    Been through Zimbabwe twice and gt it on arrival . Does Tauck say anything about getting it for you in their ‘ Important Info ‘ page?

    You might want to investigate the KAZA Univisa- available from either Zambia or Zimbabwe and good for both countries for 30 days.

    Tauck provides you with this informative on the tour page

    Zimbabwe Visa Information:

    Please Note: As your tour begins in Zimbabwe, you must obtain a double-entry Zimbabwe visa upon arrival at Victoria Falls International Airport on Day 1, before exiting Immigration and Customs to meet the Tauck representative.

    Guests still have the option to obtain a visa upon arrival; however, you may now also choose to apply online in advance at www.evisa.gov.zw. If you prefer to apply before traveling and avoid potential queues at the airport—a step-by-step application guide is included in your Personal Documents to assist you.

    We recommend applying at least one week before departure.

    The Double Entry (KAZA UNIVISA) is valid for three (3) months and is the recommended option for this tour.

    Thanks everyone. I have read everything on the Tauck site. I'm wondering if anyone has any recent experience actually applying beforehand.
