I was most recently there in November. It was actually better then than in May when I was also there, with more goods on the shelves and more fuel available.

I have never felt threatened or unsafe regarding the people there. But I wouldn't go traveling about Harare without a trusted local guide. No different than any big city, especially a thrid world city.

Once in the country side, no issues. Police and everyone else were pleasant.

I would go and have fun, but I would have a Plan B for getting out of the country in the event of real disturbance. When I went in May, it was between the fist election and the run off, when all of the violence was happening - I saw none, nor any evidence of it. My Plan B was over the bridge into Zambia or across the Zambezi into Zambia by boat. Same plan in November.
