Matobo National Park

Matobo National Park, located in southern Zimbabwe, is a place of striking beauty and deep cultural significance. Known for its dramatic granite rock formations—some balancing impossibly on one another—the park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site rich in both natural beauty and cultural significance. It’s home to an impressive variety of wildlife, including white and black rhinos, leopards, and a remarkable concentration of birds of prey.

But Matobo is more than a haven for biodiversity; it’s also a sacred landscape. Ancient San rock paintings whisper stories of the past, while the hills themselves hold deep spiritual meaning for local communities. Visitors can explore the resting place of Cecil Rhodes, hike among the balancing rocks, or simply soak in the stillness of this timeless landscape.

Matobo Safari offers a soulful journey into Zimbabwe’s wild heart—where every stone seems to speak and every trail leads to wonder.

Best Time to visit Matobo National Park

The Best Time to visit Matobo National Park is during the dry season, from May to October. During these months, the weather is cooler and wildlife viewing is at its best, as animals gather around waterholes, making them easier to spot. The clear skies and mild temperatures also make hiking and exploring the park’s famous granite rock formations more enjoyable. If you're interested in birdwatching, especially the impressive raptors the park is known for, this is a prime time as well.

While the rainy season (November to April) brings lush green landscapes and fewer crowds, it can make some roads and trails more difficult to explore. Still, the rains transform the park into a vibrant paradise, ideal for photographers and nature lovers seeking solitude. Whether you're chasing wildlife, ancient rock art, or a peaceful escape, the dry season offers the perfect balance of accessibility, comfort, and natural beauty.
