Matobo National Park
Matobo National Park – Zimbabwe
Matobo National Park is set in a sea of fascinating rock formations; containing many historical sites. Matobo is a place where erosion is tearing at the very core of the country, a place where the heart-rock is exposed to the elements, a place where, as it is destroyed, a great beauty is created. Dotted around the park are a wealth of ancient San paintings and old grain bins, where warriors once stored their provisions. Some hidden niches still shelter clay ovens that were used as iron smelters to make spears used against the colonial hordes. With the history comes a superb array of wildlife. You may see the African hawk eagle or the rare Cape eagle owl. Matobo is also home to the world's greatest concentration of black eagles. The Whovi Game Park portion of Matobo is best known for its zealously guarded population of both black and white rhino, but its inhabitants also include antelope, zebra and giraffe. Matobo's precarious and imaginative pinnacles and boulder stacks mean the scenery here is as interesting as the wildlife. Matobo is a place where erosion is tearing at the very core of the country, a place where the heart-rock is exposed to the elements, a place where, as it is destroyed, a great beauty is created. A large section of Matobo National Park within the boundaries is fenced to contain wild game including some of the more beautiful larger antelope (kudu, sable and eland) as well as black and white rhinoceros. Matobo National Park boasts the largest concentration of raptors and leopard in an area of its size in the world. Birdlife is prolific and includes the world's largest concentration of black eagles. In the Matobo National Park can be seen trees and shrubs unique to that area, as well as flora and fauna found in many other parts of the world, which have grown naturally in the Matobo Hills. Matobo National Park offers accommodation in the form of lodges, camping and caravanning sites.
