DFAT warns Australians stay away from Zimbabwe
Updated
The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade has warned Australians not travel to Zimbabwe because of the high level of election-related violence in the African nation.
The upgraded travel advice has also encouraged Australians in the country to consider leaving.
It says tourists visiting Zimbabwe's national parks and Victoria Falls should change their travel plans.
DFAT says there continues to be a high level of political tension in Zimbabwe, despite the Opposition leader's decision to pull out of the Presidential run-off to be held on Friday.
