On the ground
Airport, transfers and onward travel
- Distance
- The airport is about 22 km north of the city. Queens Sports Club is central, so the transfer runs from the northern outskirts into town.
- Getting around
- Arranged transfers are the dependable choice from the airport; the compact centre keeps in-town distances short. Confirm transport in advance where you can.
- Onward connections
- Bulawayo links to Harare for the other Zimbabwe venue and back to Johannesburg for onward travel. Capacity is limited, so book these connections as early as possible.
