Discover Matobo National Park

Granite formations over two billion years old, rounded by erosion, tower in surreal balancing shapes across the entire landscape, giving the region its unique, almost otherworldly character.

Numerous rock overhangs in the park contain San rock paintings up to 13,000 years old, depicting hunting scenes and spiritual rituals, ranking among Southern Africa's most significant collections of prehistoric art.

Accompanied by experienced rangers, visitors carefully approach the black and white rhinos protected in the park on foot, a rare and intense experience not offered in many other African parks for safety reasons.

Atop the hill known as World's View lies the simple grave of British colonialist Cecil Rhodes, from which a spectacular panoramic view opens over the national park's endless granite rock landscape.

From Bulawayo, the park can be reached by car in about 30 to 40 minutes via a well-developed road, making it a popular day-trip destination.
