Zimbabwe

[Blastoff]

just returned from a 3-country trip. zim is sure interesting and the girls are tall, athletic, better looking than kenya and dark skinned as a rule but the economy is in shambles and the black market, on all levels is thriving.

the black market exchange rate jumped up to $40,000 zim dollars for usd$1 while i was there so it was great for me.

there are many risks and restrictions for a tourist there unless you are connected and fortunately i have long term friends living there so i was hooked up just right for accommodation, transport, fuel (which is hard to find as all the service stations in the country have no petrol lol) and money exchange. if any one is heading this way, i would be happy to hook you up with my friends living there. one is a businessman and the other a professional big game hunter.

changing your money on the black market is risky if you don't have connections and it will make your trip unacceptably expensive if you don't use the black market rate. i drove from south africa 17 hours to harare. it was a hard trip as the roads are bad with people and animals all over. i don't suggest you drive it at night. i then flew to johannesburg south africa and then bangkok.

on the boarder of south africa and zimbabwe, (which was a paper nightmare to cross and took 3 hours), one tourist tried to change usd$50 on the black market and unfortunately for him, he was approached ay an undercover policeman posing as a black market moneychanger. as the tourist handed the guy his 50 bucks, he was immediately hand cuffed and locked up. i heard that he was held in jail for 24 hours, all his cash money (us$2,000) was confirep001ed and he was later released and sent back over the south african boarder. not much fun for him i am afraid.

my friends took me hunting and i shot 2 impala and 1 wildebeest (which we ate and they weren’t bad to eat either), i went to lake karriba and caught 7 tiger fish, i had elephants standing 6 feet from my kitchen window. it was all a real and different experience for me. (all photos to come in the next days). i didn't take photos of black girls this trip as there are enough on this site lol.

girls

every taxi driver in town knows ever bar and club to find girls as harare is a small city. just choose a driver and just ask. i chose an older guy who was great. english is widely spoken so no probs. the girls ask for us$ but tell them you are not american and have only zim $. they will then ask you for 1 million zim $ for all night. that equals about usd$24 at the current exchange rate for all night lol. you should not accept their first offer as it will surly go up next time if you do. offer them 300,000 zim $ and you will end up agreeing to around 500,000 to 700,000 depending on the girls and your ability to negotiate. i found the zimbabwean people very good negotiators compared to some countries.

remember, there are many people in this country both black and white who are not making it financially due to the economy. many are going to bed hungry and some are actually starving to death! old folk with no family support seem to be the ones hardest hit in this country. also, ex white farmers, who in their hay day were quite wealthy, have now been thrown off the farms at gun point by the army and are now penniless. these people are also having a very hard time as they have no money to leave the country with and no money to buy food and shelter.

oh well enough gloom and doom, if you get connected, you will have the most fun and cheapest trip of your life.

feel free to ask me any questions you like. if i can't answer you, i will email my friends living in zim and they will set us on the right path.

cheers

I am Latino. I read your brief reports and they make me want to go.

I was wondering if you had more pictures and videos to share.

Those girls in the forest are just my type. Nice.

So if you can let me look at your stash, let me know.

I would also like to know how much you paid for airfare. I am a budget traveler.

Thanx

Unofficial rate $1US = 18000 Zim$

It can change daily I know people in zimbabwe so I have no problem changing. It's a risky doing it with strangers. Avoid the guys aproach u in the streeets asking to changes forex.

[Blastoff]

I am off to Joburg and Zimbabwe for business and pleasure in a weeks time.

Can anyone give me any updates or new places I should visit in either?

Thanks

Be advised--Went to Zim for the first time in Jan. 07. Most of the info in LP is wrong. They have as of 01/07 closed all forex places which offered the unofficial rate. The only way to get the unofficial rate is through your hotel, and try to be discreet. This presents a problem on arrival, unless you happen to have zim $ on you. Also, hotels no longer allow foreigners to pay in local currencies, and the hotels in Harare listed in LP range from $30 US to $80 US. This place is no longer the bargain it was once reputed to be.

Unofficial rate $1US = 4400 Zim$
Official rate $1US = 250 Zim$

The HIV rate is sky high so I would stay away from the Avenues women. If you look in the classified section of the newspaper The Herald, you can find good massages either in private houses or they will usually travel. The women are usually very nice, pretty and obliging. The full price varied between US$5 and US$15. Generally I have to say that the Zimbabwe women are NOT the best on the continent.

[Swede 1962]

mate,

could you be more specific: pubs/ clubs, which town? what were your operative means to acquire your honnies? thanks for the effort.

i forgot the name of the bar i went to in avenues harare. i dont know what town you ganna be in. you can alsa chat with the girls at the haridressers. i went for a haircut and found some nice women if you find a nice hunne just take her out for a meal and you can be very lucky

[AfAsia]

You can find women for 20$.

Mate,

Could you be more specific: Pubs/ clubs, which town? What were your operative means to acquire your honnies? Thanks for the effort.

[Swede 1962]

I personally find zimbabwe very safe. I was there last year in may. People are very friendly. People are desperate for forex. You can find women for 20$.

[Devirgin]

Hay Fellow Mongers,

I just wanna find out how safe Zimbabwe is. I will be going there for Work early next month for a whole month. Would like to mix work with pleasure.

Please fill me in on the going rate,where to find good looking chicas and all. Massage Parlour, Cloureds, White, Blacks need it all.

Thanks in advance.

The young chicks pay no attention to them, which surprises them. Harare is like that.

Well I'm more of a middle aged fart, but the young chicks still pay plenty attention to me, well my wallet anyway.

Thinking of travelling to Harare in a few weeks. Havnt been for 4 years and have never practised the hobby there. Anyone had any recent experiences?

[Sinclair]

First, I have to laugh at some of these old dudes who talk about "uncle bob" and all that other bullshit. Get pussy is the motto baby. Get pussy!

Young brothers need to get out there cos these old farty dudes been out there for years getting that black ass. But I tell you this...especially for my New York brothers--the "realest" of all muta fuckas--"the ki-l-l-e-rs" and "hundred dollar billers"--the ballers--once you're in these countries those old farts have no room to manuever. Serious! The young chicks pay no attention to them, which surprises them. Harare is like that.

You even inspire the local brothers to think like you.

It's effortless player.

Here are some more photos.

One love

[Big Kev]

Man, Sinclair, those are some fine, fine titties on that Zimboobie girl!

Got anymore?

[AfAsia]

mate,

we look forward to any word/report on this lonely thread. i suppose it`s an offshoot of uncle bob`s wonderful leadership skills, therefore we all suffer, regarding travel to this wonderful part of the world.

enjoy and stay safe, bring back the bacon for us all.

Will be spending a week in Harare early November. If Zimbabwe is anything like other African countries I have visited, then tupping local lassies will not require a Ph.D. in tartology. I will write a full report for any interested mongerers after the venture. Will try to get some photos up here as well as the discussion needs a little graphic enhancement.
