Well talk to Craig at Charles Prince, if I were you after this last week Zim could be a fun place to be, and Craig and his team are proper pros. If you're an ex-Zim I guess you may have mates/family still there who can give you a place to stay and maybe lend you a truck to get around. If you start in May, after the rains, you'll have five months of relatively stable weather to learn in.
I did my PPL at FVCP many years ago (at Pegasus, now relocated to Lanseria). It's a quiet field, not too much traffic in the pattern, helpful local fixers who can run paperwork over to Harare main etc etc
