Airlines serve an important function in the tourism sector, they provide convenience to travelers, linking them to their destinations. Apart from being a mode of transport, they also help to give travelers a taste of their destination, a role That RwandAir has beautifully executed with regards to destination Zimbabwe. 

Scrolling through their social media handles, you see them sharing information and features of their destinations, and on a couple of occasions, we watched as their posts stunned the rest of the world. When they posted Zimbabwean resorts, from the Majestic Victoria Falls, to the Ancient City of Great Zimbabwe, the balancing rocks of Matopos and the granite outcrops of Domboshava and more, the the world was amazed, which is always to be expected because Zimbabwe is a world of wonders. 

This has been good for our tourism, as it gives the world a sneak peek into what we have. It’s part of the process of creating awareness about our destination, and whilst not everyone may heed the call to visit Zimbabwe today, someday in the future, someone will want to visit, and they will remember that their trip to Zimbabwe began with a digital interaction which was initiated by the airline and they will connect with the airline to bring them to Zimbabwe, a place where many dream to be at. The world marvels at the Victoria Falls, one of the seven natural wonders of the world, the pristine safari experience and the history of civilization and culture of Zimbabwe which can be seen at the Great Zimbabwe as well as many other resorts spread across the country. 

RwandAir began serving the Harare route in April 2017, connecting Zimbabwe to the Rwandan capital, Kigali. They fly four times a week, Mondays, Wednesdays Fridays and Sundays. Travelers can always look forward to a great experience as they fly the dream of Africa, which is the airline’s tag line. 

The weekday service is good for business travelers who may have business to do in Zimbabwe throughout the week, whilst the weekend service; are a great offering for the leisure travelers who can enjoy the beauty of Zimbabwe throughout the weekend, arriving on a Friday and departing on a Sunday after a time of exciting activities and great memories spent in leisure, solo or with beloved ones. The flight schedule enables you to plan your itinerary and have sufficient time to go through exciting places in Zimbabwe.
