It is still unclear when this will be implemented for tourists, due to lack of quarantine facilities at port of entries.
• Curfew has been extended and is now from 9pm to 6am.
• Business hours are now enforced from 7am to 7pm.
• Restaurants & Bars are open to vaccinated customers only.
• On leaving Zimbabwe, you will be required to present a negative COVID-19 PCR certificate, issued no more than 48 hours prior to boarding your flight.
• Whilst earlier this year Zimbabwe announced its intention to use the African Union Trusted Travel process for validating Covid-19 tests for passengers – this has yet to be implemented, however it is preferable to have your departing PCR test done at the Bio Express lab or Lancet Laboratories in Victoria Falls, who are accredited with this platformStandard COVID Entry Requirements (prior to 1st Dec 2021)
• All passengers are required to produce a negative COVID-19 test result, issued no more than 48 hours before their departure to Zimbabwe, and complete a COVID-19 contact-tracing document on arrival.

- On the 1st December 2021, the President of Botswana announced that all travellers must present a negative PCR COVID-19 Clearance Certificate (obtained within 72hrs of arrival) as well as a full Vaccination Certificate in order to enter the country. Clarity on whether this is with immediate effect or begins on a certain date is yet to be confirmed by Government. We recommend travellers therefore apply to both regulations if planning to enter the country.
• Upon entry to Botswana, all arrivals will undergo a rapid COVID test free of charge. Guests testing positive or exhibiting symptoms will be subject to quarantine at their own cost.
• Botswana is open to all nationalities however there are special restrictions in place for travellers who originated from or transited through India within 14 days of their arrival in Botswana. Those travellers will be required to undertake mandatory quarantine at a government assigned site for a period of 10 days at their own cost. Those travellers will be required to undertake an exit COVID-19 test on days 5-7 to determine if they are to be released from quarantine. Quarantine is not applicable to passengers arriving from any other country other than India.
• When departing Botswana, guests must comply with the PCR requirements of their destination country or airline. However, these PCR certificates must not exceed 72 hours, as producing a negative PCR test within this time frame is still a requirement when exiting Botswana. If travellers need to obtain a negative PCR test certificate before departure, there are testing facilities available throughout Botswana generally with a 24 hour turnaround time.
• Please note that it is compulsory to wear a face covering / mask in all shared spaces in Botswana – those found to be not complying will be fined.

- Mozambican President Filipe Nyusi on Sunday night announced an easing of many of the restrictive measures, introduced by the government to restrict the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic.
• Addressing the nation, Nyusi said the relaxation, which takes effect as from zero hours on Monday, is intended to allow a gradual resumption of production in all sectors of the economy. The relaxation was possible because of the advances in the national vaccination campaign, and the great improvement in all the main Covid-19 indicators – such as the daily number of new cases, and of deaths, and the number of people hospitalised with the disease.
• An analysis of the situation over the past month, said Nyusi, “leads us to conclude that, in general, with the exception of the irresponsibility witnessed on some benches, Mozambicans have accepted the measures we have been taking, and the country has witnessed a reduction in all the epidemiological indicators over the past ten weeks. So the government has decided to ease the restrictive measures of its previous decree”.
• The country was now on the lowest level of alert, level one, but a few weeks ago it had been on level three.
• Nyusi announced that the curfew in force in all cities and municipalities has been cut by an hour. The curfew now begins at midnight, rather than at 23.00 and, as before, lasts until 04.00.
• The number of people who are allowed to attend religious services rises from 50 to 100 in closed spaces, and from 100 to 250 in the open air. But in no cases should the audience exceed 50 per cent of the capacity of the place of worship.
• The number of people who may attend funerals rises from 20 to 50 – but, if the deceased died from Covid-19, the limit remains ten.
• Public swimming pools may now operate at 50 rather than 30 per cent of their capacity, while the limit on audiences at cinemas, theatres, concerts and the like rises from 30 to 40 per cent of capacity. Limits on the numbers who may visit museums and art galleries have been entirely removed.
• Shopping centres can now close at 20.00 rather than 18.00 on weekdays, and at 18.00 rather than 15.00 on Sundays and holidays. The same applies to informal stalls and kiosks – but they may not sell alcoholic drinks. Nyusi stressed that this is not a Covid-19 restriction – the law always banned the sale of alcohol from informal stalls, but this was usually disregarded prior to the pandemic,
• Bottle stores may close at 18.00 rather than 15.00 Mondays to Saturdays, but must remain closed on Sundays and holidays.
• Bars are allowed to re-open, provided they are well-ventilated. They must close by 19.00. The number of people in restaurants must not exceed four per table in a closed space, or six per table in the open
• The number of people who may attend private social events (such as birthday or wedding parties) rises from 30 to 50 in enclosed spaces, and from 50 to 100 in the open.
• One area where there was no relaxation was the country’s beaches. The 20 named beaches that were closed a month ago remain closed, and to this list the government has added the beach on the Revobue river in Tete province. There had been “a great deal of disorder on that beach”, said Nyusi.
• The beaches closed are the best known and most popular ones – but there are many other beaches that are not closed, and can be reached by people willing to travel a little further.
• Nyusi warned that these measures did not mean that the Covid-19 pandemic is over. The relaxation, he stressed, should not be regarded as an excuse for reckless behavior that could spread the disease and reverse the current gains.
• Citizens should continue to observe basic preventive measures, such as regularly washing their hands, avoiding crowds and wearing masks in public places.
• Nyusi said the current set of measures will remain in force until 20 December. He urged citizens to remain disciplined, so that the government is not forced to re-introduce restrictive measures on the eve of the festive season.
• “The government is prepared to retreat”, added the President. “Retreating does not mean losing the battle, but managing it,”The Council of Ministers of Mozambique decided to POSTPONE the closure of current LISTED BEACHES due to unruliness. Beaches closed by Decree 80/2021 remain closed until 20th December. ALL OTHER BEACHES REMAIN OPEN. Listed beaches CLOSED until 20th December 2021 are:
