Zimbabwe offers a rich blend of cultural heritage and stunning natural landscapes, making it an appealing destination for some Tanzanians. While recent foreign visitor numbers have declined, attractions like Victoria Falls and the historical site of Great Zimbabwe highlight its diverse tourism potential, which could attract a segment of Tanzania's 65 million population.
Zimbabwe's safety for tourists, particularly those coming from Tanzania, is a concern based on various safety indices. According to the Global Peace Index, Zimbabwe ranks 119th out of 160 countries, significantly lower than Tanzania, which is ranked 63rd. In terms of crime statistics, the murder rate in Zimbabwe is 6.1 per 100,000 people, compared to Tanzania's 3.7. Female murder rates are also slightly higher in Zimbabwe (1.9) than in Tanzania (1.7). The Global Organized Crime Index further highlights some differences: while both countries face organized crime, Zimbabwe has higher scores in categories like state crime (8.0) and resource crime (8.0), indicating greater challenges in these areas compared to Tanzania. Overall, while tourists can visit Zimbabwe, it is advisable to stay informed about safety conditions and exercise caution.
