Zimbabwe eSIM for city and falls stays
Choose mobile data for a Harare stay, separately booked Bulawayo plans or the Zimbabwe side of a Victoria Falls visit.
In Harare, save the exact family, work or hotel address, entrance and contact. Treat Bulawayo as a separate stay with its own local booking and any arranged park-visit meeting point. Victoria Falls is shared across Zimbabwe and Zambia, so match the airport, accommodation and booked activities to the country written on each reservation; a Zambia leg requires a separate coverage decision.
For this trip
Which eSIM fits a Zimbabwe itinerary?
Choose among Horizon's Zimbabwe plans by covering the full stay and transfer days, then compare the displayed allowance with messages, maps, app calls, uploads and connected devices. Keep Harare, Bulawayo and Victoria Falls bookings distinct, check the country on every reservation and choose another product for any Zambia segment.
Horizon sells the Zimbabwe plans shown here. This comparison covers city stays and country-labelled falls bookings and is not an independent ranking of the whole eSIM market.
Data for planned tasks
Compare the displayed allowance with messages, maps and app calls, then add uploads or devices sharing that allowance.
Stay and transfer validity
Include arrival, every night, each Bulawayo or falls transfer day and final departure in the selected period.
Country on each booking
Confirm Zimbabwe for this plan and choose a separate suitable product for every Zambia, South Africa or other-country segment.
Refund policy
We always refund the full amount you paid when you request it, whether your eSIM is unused, partly used or fully used. There is no time limit for requesting a refund.
No first-use deadline
Validity does not start until your eSIM connects to a supported network at your destination. There is no deadline for first use. You can buy now and keep your plan for a future trip.

How eSIM works in Zimbabwe
Install the eSIM over reliable Wi-Fi before departure and leave its line off until Zimbabwe. After entering Zimbabwe, set Horizon as the mobile data line and enable data roaming for it. Check the Zimbabwe validity rule before purchase: the period starts with the first successful connection to a supported network in the country. A compatible dual-SIM phone may keep your home SIM active during the stay; its provider may charge for use.
Install your eSIM
Scan the QR or auto-install in the app — no physical SIM.
Land & connect
Data activates on first connection at your destination.
Size it to your trip
Pick the profile closest to your trip. The estimate assumes normal use — maps, messaging, photos, a short call home.
As a rule of thumb, a 3–4 day city break runs on about 1–3 GB, a one-week trip on 3–5 GB, a two-week multi-country tour on 8–12 GB, and working on the road takes about 1 GB a day, so 15 GB or more for two weeks.
Recommended size
3GB3–4 days
≈0.4 GB a day
- Maps every day
- Messaging and photos
- A short call home most days
In total, a 1 GB data allowance covers roughly 330 shared photos, 17 hours of social media and browsing, 2.9 hours of video calls, 13 hours of music streaming, or about 200 hours of maps and navigation. Messaging apps barely use data.

Important cities in Zimbabwe
Harare · City guide
Harare
For a Harare stay, save the complete family, work or hotel address, entrance, contact and booking reference together. Keep the first meeting instruction offline before departure. Choose validity from arrival through the final night and departure day, not only for scheduled work or appointments.
Harare eSIM — set up before you flyBulawayo · City guide
Bulawayo
Treat Bulawayo as a distinct stay with its own accommodation or family address, local contact and return arrangement. If an arranged park visit is included, save the organiser's exact meeting point and next instruction offline. Add every Bulawayo night and the transfer day to validity.
Bulawayo eSIM — set up before you flyVictoria Falls · City guide
Victoria Falls
For Victoria Falls, check the country written on the airport, accommodation and activity bookings. A Zimbabwe plan applies to the Zimbabwe stay and does not include a separately booked Zambia leg. Keep each pickup, address and meeting point in a country-labelled offline note before departure.

Match each booking to its country
Cover the full stay and each transfer day, then compare the displayed allowance with messages, occasional navigation and app calls before adding uploads or connected devices. With a Zimbabwe plan, hotspot is free, devices share the plan allowance, and Horizon does not throttle it. This eSIM is data-only with no local number. Horizon offers Zimbabwe country plans outside its Africa regional bundle; Zambia, South Africa and other countries need separate suitable plans.

Frequently asked questions
How much do Zimbabwe eSIM plans cost?
Zimbabwe eSIM prices start at €23.99 for 250 MB (7 days). The recommended plan, 1 GB (30 days), costs €95.29.
What suits a Harare stay?
Choose validity from arrival through departure and compare the displayed allowance with messages, maps, app calls and documents. Include connected devices before choosing among the shown options.
What changes if I add Bulawayo?
Choose a validity period covering every Bulawayo night and the day used for transfer. Save its separate accommodation or family address, local booking, return arrangement and any arranged park meeting point offline.
Is my falls booking in Zimbabwe or Zambia?
Check the country written on each airport, accommodation and activity reservation. The Zimbabwe plan does not include a separately booked Zambia segment, so choose another suitable plan for it.
Can I share data in Zimbabwe?
Yes. Hotspot with the Zimbabwe plan is free, and Horizon does not throttle it. A compatible phone is required; the phone and connected devices share the displayed plan allowance.
Is Zimbabwe in the Africa bundle?
No. Horizon offers Zimbabwe country plans, and Zimbabwe is outside the Africa regional bundle. Choose separate suitable plans for Zambia, South Africa or every other country.
Does the plan guarantee reception at parks?
No. A Zimbabwe country plan does not guarantee reception at a park, near the falls or at every meeting point. Keep organiser contacts, addresses, bookings and return details offline.
Can I keep my WhatsApp and phone number with the Zimbabwe eSIM?
Yes. WhatsApp stays linked to your usual number and runs on the eSIM's data. On a dual-SIM phone, your usual SIM can stay on for ordinary calls and texts. Your home carrier may charge for calls, texts or data on that line, so turn off data roaming there.
Does the Zimbabwe eSIM include calls and texts?
No. Horizon plans are data-only, with no phone number for calls or texts. Use apps such as WhatsApp or FaceTime over the eSIM's data, or keep your usual SIM on for ordinary calls and texts.
Do I need to turn on data roaming for the Zimbabwe eSIM?
Yes. A travel eSIM connects to local networks as a roaming line, so turn on data roaming for the Horizon eSIM when you arrive. The plan is prepaid, so Horizon does not bill you after checkout. Keep data roaming off on your usual SIM to avoid charges from your home carrier.
What happens if I run out of data on the Zimbabwe eSIM?
You can buy more. If your plan supports a top-up, My eSIMs shows the data you can add to the same eSIM. If it does not, buy another Zimbabwe plan and install it the same way.
Will my phone work with the Zimbabwe eSIM?
It will if your phone supports eSIM and is not locked to your home carrier. Many recent iPhone and Android models do, but some regional versions do not, so check your exact model on the supported devices page before you buy.
See supported devicesWill Horizon slow down my data?
No. Horizon fixed-data plans have no throttling. There is no daily limit that slows you down, so you can use your whole plan in one day if you need to. Your speed depends on the local network, your signal and how busy the network is. When your data allowance is used up, the plan stops rather than slowing down.
Can I get a refund if I already used some data?
Yes. We always refund the full amount you paid when you request it, whether your eSIM is unused, partly used or fully used. There is no time limit for requesting a refund.
