Make sure to have cash on hand to pay for entry fees, which are approximately $5 per person.
Public Transport (Bus)
You can catch a bus from Gweru to Bulawayo from the Gweru bus terminal. Buses frequently depart throughout the day. In Bulawayo, you will need to take a shared taxi (kombie) or arrange for a local taxi service to the Khami Ruins. The kombie drivers will know the destination; just let them know you want to go to Khami Ruins. The total cost for the bus to Bulawayo is approximately $5, and the kombie fare to Khami Ruins is around $2-$3.
Private Taxi
If you prefer a more direct route, you can hire a private taxi from Gweru or Bulawayo. This option will be more expensive, typically ranging from $30 to $50, depending on your starting point. The driver will take you directly to Khami Ruins, allowing for a more personalized experience. Ensure you negotiate the fare before starting your journey.
