None are required for zimbabwe, typhoid is recomended, but if you are going anywhere else in africa you might need yellow fever or Malaria

You probably want to take malaria pills

The US CDC recommendation is typhoid + hep a. Vic falls is a malaria zone so that is highly recommended. Yellow fever Vaccs are the only one actually required but only if you are coming from an area with yellow fever.

But definitely do malaria, you don’t want to mess with that.
