1 mission of Zimbabwe in Israel: Consulate General of Zimbabwe in Jerusalem, Israel. Addresses, phones and contacts.
Head of mission: Mr Musan Levi Ahron, Honorary Consul General (as of 2023)
Zimbabwe offers a rich cultural heritage and stunning natural landscapes, making it an appealing destination for some Israeli travelers. While foreign visitor numbers have recently declined, attractions like Victoria Falls and Great Zimbabwe highlight its tourism potential. Given that approximately 3 million Israelis travel abroad annually, a portion may find Zimbabwe an intriguing option.
Zimbabwe's safety for tourists, including those from Israel, can be evaluated using various crime statistics. According to the Global Peace Index, Zimbabwe ranks 119th out of 160 countries, which is safer than Israel's rank of 152nd. In terms of murder rates, Zimbabwe has a rate of 6.1 per 100,000 people, compared to Israel's 1.9. Female murder rates are also higher in Zimbabwe at 1.9 versus Israel's 0.6. The Global Organized Crime Index provides further insights, with Zimbabwe scoring 3.5 for mafia groups (better than Israel's 5.5), but worse in other areas such as crime networks (7.5 vs. Israel's 4.0) and state crime (8.0 vs. Israel's 5.0). Overall, while Zimbabwe has higher murder rates, it has lower organized crime indices in certain categories compared to Israel. Tourists should remain aware of their surroundings and take standard safety precautions while visiting Zimbabwe.
