A timeshare is a property whereby several joint owners have the right to use that particular property and in this arrangement each person/organisation is allotted a period of time, usually a full week, and almost the same time every year for a certain number of years. Timeshares are a concept that has been embraced in the developed world and slowly in Africa.
Timeshares give a “home-away-from-home” atmosphere and are fully furnished so much that all one needs is to bring along their food and drink. The properties are fully equipped with fridges, stoves, microwaves, crockery, cutlery, TVs, lounge sofas, and anything else that makes the timeshare owner or guest as comfortable as possible during a vacation. Examples of timeshares in Zimbabwe include Blue Swallow Lodges in Nyanga, Kingfisher Cabanas in Kariba and Lokuthula Lodges in Victoria Falls. Ownership of timeshares allows one the opportunity to be part of RCI®.
