Entry rules for Kenya passport holders
Holders of a valid passport from Kenya can travel to Zimbabwe for tourism or short business trips without applying for a visa, for stays of up to 90 days.

The 90-day limit applies to the visit itself — if you plan to stay longer, work, or study in Zimbabwe, you'll need to apply for the appropriate visa or permit before traveling.
Entry rules can change at short notice. Always confirm current requirements with the official Zimbabwe immigration authority or your nearest embassy before booking.
