Getting there

Car

From Harare, take the A1 highway towards Bindura. After approximately 30 km, look for the turn-off to Domboshava (signposted). Turn right onto the B2 road. Continue for about 14 km until you reach the Domboshava area. Follow the signs to the Domboshava Caves. Parking is available near the entrance. Ensure you have a local map or GPS for precise navigation.

Public Transportation

From Harare, take a shared taxi (commonly known as a 'kombie') to Domboshava. These taxis depart from various locations in Harare, including the Mbare Musika market. The fare is usually around $1-3 USD depending on the driver. Inform the driver you are going to Domboshava Caves. Once you arrive in Domboshava, it is a short walk (approximately 1 km) to the caves, or you can hire a local taxi for a small fee to take you directly to the caves.

If you are already in Domboshava, you can walk to the caves from the center of town. Head east along the main road, following the path towards the Domboshava Caves. The walk is approximately 1 km and should take about 15-20 minutes. Be sure to wear comfortable shoes as the terrain can be rocky.
