Default Driving through Zimbabwe

Hello,

I have to drive from Johannesburg to Tete in Mozambique at the end of
Apri, and obviously I have two choices.
a) Drive through Mozambique. This is long and tedious.
b) Drive thhrough Zimbabwe, and exit at Nyamapanda.

I have heard rumours that getting a foreign registered vehicle into
Zim has become VERY expensive. Someone told me that the carbon tax has
been increased to US$200 and that there was an adddtional charge of
US$300, and that's excluding the bridge fees and insurance.

Has anyone any recent info? The last time I did this trip was November
last year.

Regards,
Marc - Johannesburg



Last time I entered Zim was back in 2004 and the Carbon Tax was 30 US$ or 20
?... 200US$ ??? What's Mugabe doing? If this is true then I will advice my
customers to watch the Vic Falls at the Zambian side and walk across the
bridge for the view on the Zim side.
