About us

Smart travel, made in Zimbabwe.

Pavillion Coaches started out in local commuter transport. Today we run 18 long-distance routes, from Harare and Chitungwiza to Bulawayo in the west and deep into the north-east, with buses on the road day and night.

Our journey

From commuter runs to the long road.

We didn't start with long-distance coaches. We started close to home, and our routes grew as our passengers trusted us with more of their journeys.

  1. Where we started

    Local commuter transport

    Short daily trips that got people to work, school and market on time. It's where we learned that being dependable matters more than anything else.

  2. Going further

    Longer routes, bigger coaches

    As demand grew, so did the distances. We invested in modern long-distance coaches and began linking cities with rural communities.

  3. Where we are now

    18 routes, day and night

    Up to 470 km one way, from Harare and Chitungwiza to Bulawayo, Gweru, Mount Darwin, Karanda, Rushinga and beyond, plus whole-bus hire.

Who we are

A Zimbabwean coach company that still thinks like a commuter operator: on time, every trip, for every passenger.
