Looking for the best way to book cheap flights to Harare, Zimbabwe from the UK? Whether you're a frequent traveller, heading home to see loved ones, or planning a long-overdue holiday, securing an affordable ticket can make all the difference - especially with airfares rising globally.
At Travel Campus UK, we specialise in helping travellers just like you - including the UK’s Zimbabwean diaspora - fly affordably, securely, and stress-free. From insider booking strategies to Book Now, Pay Later options, here are 10 expert tips to help you save money while planning your next trip to Harare.
One of the most effective ways to find lower fares is by being flexible with your travel dates. Airlines adjust prices based on demand and weekends or holiday periods are almost always more expensive.
Mid-week flights (especially Tuesdays and Wednesdays) are often the cheapest. Also, travelling on less popular dates such as during off-season months (February, May, and September) can save you up to 30% or more compared to peak travel times like December.
Bonus Tip: Use flexible date search tools or ask Travel Campus to do it for you, we scan a 7-day window around your preferred date to spot hidden savings.
It’s a myth that booking a flight months in advance always gets you the lowest fare. For flights to Harare, booking around 6 to 8 weeks before your intended departure usually gives you the best balance between fare and availability.
Planning a Christmas trip home? Try booking in September or early October for better prices before the holiday rush kicks in. With Travel Campus, you can even secure an early fare now and pay later, making it easier to plan ahead without financial pressure.
Don’t limit yourself to London Heathrow. You can often find cheaper fares from Gatwick, Manchester, or Birmingham, depending on your location and flight route. Some regional airports also offer flights to Harare with a stopover.
Tip for Budget Travellers: Consider flying out of a nearby airport even if it means a short train or coach ride - the savings on international airfare often outweigh the domestic travel cost.
At Travel Campus, we help you compare all UK departure options in one go, saving you the time and hassle.
While direct flights are quicker, they tend to be pricier. Opting for one-stop or two-stop flights with quality airlines like Ethiopian Airlines, Emirates, or Qatar Airways can cut hundreds of pounds off your ticket.
Example: A one-stop flight via Addis Ababa or Doha often costs less than direct options and gives you a comfortable layover in a modern international hub.
Travel Campus advisors help you select the best airline routes that match your schedule, comfort preference, and budget — and we explain visa/transit rules if needed.
We get it - paying hundreds of pounds upfront for a flight isn’t easy, especially when you’re juggling family responsibilities or planning last-minute travel. That’s why Travel Campus UK offers a unique Book Now, Pay Later service — with no credit checks and no hidden charges.
This service is especially popular with diaspora customers who want to lock in low fares for future travel, without financial pressure.
If your travel dates are flexible, avoiding peak seasons can result in big savings. Flights around Christmas, Easter, summer holidays, and Zimbabwean public holidays are often in high demand, pushing prices up by 40% or more. Instead, consider booking in:
