Zimbabwe is very safe at the moment. Its only that in the past few years, Zimbabwean politics were not looking good. And also the president of the country is very big mouthed. He used to chide the super powers at world forums and I think that contributed to some of the travel warnings which I think are quite unjustified. Not all foreign journalists were banned. AlJezeera and SABC (South Africa), for example operated freely. The dictator in Zimabwe was simply hitting back at western countries who have imposed travel restrictions on his regime.
Even the opposition is Zimbabwe are saying the country is safe, read here:
