As the countdown continues to UbuntuNet-Connect 2025, excitement is building for what promises to be one of the most impactful gatherings in Africa’s research and education networking calendar. To ensure every attendee has a smooth and memorable experience, UbuntuNet Alliance has released the official UbuntuNet-Connect 2025 Information Pack, your go-to guide for everything you need to know ahead of your trip to Harare, Zimbabwe.
The Info Pack provides attendees with comprehensive details on travel and logistics, including visa requirements, passport guidelines, and key tips on currencies and payment options in Zimbabwe. It also highlights essential health and safety information, local emergency contacts, and recommended medical facilities near the conference venue — the Rainbow Towers Hotel and Conference Centre.
Participants can also find practical insights on transportation options, weather conditions in Harare, and a curated list of nearby restaurants and accommodation choices, complete with contact details and indicative rates. For those eager to explore beyond the conference, the pack introduces local tour services and attractions that showcase Zimbabwe’s cultural vibrancy and hospitality.
The Info Pack further includes guidance on mobile connectivity and internet access, with details on local service providers and eduroam availability at the venue. It also shares contact information for the ZIMREN team and UbuntuNet Alliance staff who will be on hand to support delegates throughout the conference.
We invite all registered participants to download and review the Info Pack ahead of the event. Familiarizing yourself with its content will help you make the most of your stay and fully engage in the exciting sessions, discussions, and networking opportunities awaiting at UbuntuNet-Connect 2025.
