Start times and locations.

Before heading out to an event or an activity, it’s recommended to reach out to the organizers to confirm start times, as well as location. Google is limited in its ability to map Zimbabwe, as it doesn’t offer a lot of services that businesses would use to put their information online.

A small offering such as google domains is not available in Zimbabwe. So businesses have access to less webhosts and options and that can map their exact location. There is a lot of new construction and neighbourhoods in Zimbabwe, so driving can be challenging if you don’t know where you’re going and you may have to rely on locals. Don’t be surprised however, if you are giving different directions by well meaning strangers.

The organizers can often inform you of how to reach your event destination, as well as what time they actually expect to begin, rather than the advertised time.
