Such a beautiful area. Rock formations are amazing. Visited Cecil John Rhodes grave set up the hill with beautiful views. Wild and beautiful.
One of the most scenic parks I visited in a long time. Not overstocked with game, but we were lucky to see rhino. Highly recommend this park
We had the rhino encounter and saw some historical sites at the park. We had Blessing as our guide and he was kind, funny and he explained everything very well. The wild rhinos were 5m away and we went to see them by foot! Incredible, breathtaking experience
A key note destination if one decides to visit Bulawayo, Matopos National Park is a gem on Zimbabwes crown. As a father of 3 boys it presented a great hiking spot and viewing for the best of rock formations nature has to offer. Great place to visit🇿🇼
Matobo National Park is a stunning UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its dramatic granite rock formations, ancient cave paintings, and rich cultural and natural history. The scenery is absolutely breathtaking — with balancing rocks, wooded valleys, and sweeping views that make it a photographer’s dream.
