Zimbabwe has been ranked number 22 among the world’s most welcoming countries by United States news channel CNN.

  • Angola and Malawi both at number 1 with 198 countries, 
  • Lesotho at number 5 with 194 countries, 
  • Mozambique at number 7 with 192 and 
  • Tanzania at number 13 with 169.

Zimbabwe beats South Africa which is placed number 55 with 83 countries, 

  • Zambia at number 26 with 136, 
  • Botswana number 38 with 103, 
  • Namibia at 43 with 96 and 
  • Eswatini at 46 with 93.
