Harare - Post Report Question and Answers

Is it easy to make friends with locals here? Are there any prejudices or any ethnic groups who might feel uncomfortable here?

Zimbabweans are some of the most friendly people that you will ever meet. - May 2021


Yes. While it is a poor country overall, Zimbabweans are quite well educated, friendly, have great senses of humor. It's easy to get to know people. The white and black communities seem very separate/distinct, but this is a post where you can make friends across the spectrum. - Feb 2020


Yes, the culture here is somewhat closed off and seems distrusting of outsiders. People are friendly and polite, but don’t seem interested in taking friendships to the next level. - Feb 2019
