My husband and I would like to say a big thank you to Jenny. She helped us get the best deal for our flight to Zimbabwe. Helpful and supportive throughout. She had to stay a bit longer at the office to ensure our flights were safely secured. I'd recommend her services 👍🏾
I bought a ticket to my country Zimbabwe which I am only travelling for 10 hrs. I used to travel for more than 24 hrs if I buy a cheap ticket but Jenny was a star to me thank you so much Jenny.

If you are planning a trip to Harare, you have a clear place to start: a direct flight from London Gatwick. London Gatwick says it is the UK's only airport with direct flights to Harare, and Air Zimbabwe flies the route to Harare Robert Gabriel Mugabe International Airport (HRE). If Gatwick does not suit you, tell us where you are starting from and we will check what is flying from your nearest UK airport.
This page gives you the route facts first, then explains what we do with them. Each fact in the table comes from a named source, and the Sources section shows the date we last checked it.
Air Zimbabwe flies from Gatwick South Terminal to Harare on Monday, Thursday and Saturday, and returns from Harare on Sunday, Wednesday and Friday. The airline restarted its London flights on 22 July 2026 after a 14-year break.
Air Zimbabwe sells the tickets and manages the commercial side of the route. Plus Ultra Líneas Aéreas, a Spanish carrier, provides and operates the aircraft on its behalf. That matters when you read your ticket, because your ticket information should show the operating airline.
Our page on Air Zimbabwe flights from London Gatwick to Harare covers the schedule, the operator and how to book in more detail.
This page lists London Gatwick as the only direct departure point. We do not publish a list of regional routes here, because departure airports and fares change and we would rather give you a current answer than an out-of-date table. Message us on WhatsApp for today's options: send your nearest airport and your dates, and we will check what is flying and come back with a quote. Our guide to Harare flights from regional UK airports explains what to expect.
We are an IATA accredited agent, and you deal with our Zimbabwe travel team rather than a booking form. When you ask for a quote we check the current fare and schedule for your dates, explain who sells your flight and who operates it, and put together options for the whole party if you are travelling as a family or a group. We reply within 1 hour during opening hours.
Not sure whether a fare is good? Send us the one you have found and we will check it against what we can offer. If you want to compare airlines before you decide, our airline comparison for UK to Harare sets them side by side, and our UK to Zimbabwe flights guide covers the wider journey.
Check three things before you pay. First, the operating airline on your ticket. Second, your baggage allowance: Air Zimbabwe's published international allowance is in the table above, other airlines differ, and we confirm yours with your quote. Third, your documents. Entry rules are set by the authorities and they change, so read the GOV.UK entry requirements for Zimbabwe and the GOV.UK guidance on the UK Electronic Travel Authorisation before you book. We link to those pages instead of repeating the rules, so you always see the current version.
Fares move through the year. Our guide to the cheapest time to fly from London to Harare explains what fare trackers show. The quickest way to find your own fare is to send us your dates. If you are flying home for the holidays, our Christmas flights guide is a useful read first.
Send us your dates, your nearest airport and the number of people travelling, using the WhatsApp or Get a quote buttons on this page. We will check the options and reply with a clear quote. If you are travelling because of a funeral or a family emergency, read our guide to urgent flights to Zimbabwe and message us straight away.

I had a great experience with Travel Orbit from start to finish. Their team was professional, responsive, and made the entire booking process smooth and stress-free. They were patient in answering all my questions and ensured I got the best option for my travel needs. The customer service was excellent, and everything was handled efficiently. I would definitely recommend Travel Orbit to anyone looking for reliable travel services, and I'll be using them again for my future trips.
One of the best travel company to deal with. Daisy was fantastic from enquiry till the deal was concluded. Travel Orbit guys are the real deal, great customer service, the guys understand the small print of the travel world. I would recommend them to anyone and value for money is garaunteed.to Thank you guys.
I kept getting through to AI customer services of the other popular travel companies just to allow me book unaccompanied flight for my 16 year old. But I got to speak to a real being here who assisted me till the point where BA's website confirmed the flight for my 16 year old to travel unaccompanied. Thank you
