Travel tip: Attach orange canvas sheets to the roof of your vehicle, which is a sign to allied aircraft that you’re a friendly. As if that will make any difference.
Travel risk: Extreme | | | Zimbabwe: Dangers: Violent crime including robberies and car-jackings, limited police force and general emergency services, political demonstrations, violence and intimidation
