    Twala Sanctuary in Goromonzi is a quiet and peaceful environment. It’s perfect place to lay back and relax with family or friends. Braaing facilities are available at no extra charge. Definitely recommend visiting at least once. The money is used for the upkeep of the animals and the place.

    Hidden gem, a very clean, tranquil and serene place. Ideal for a lovely quiet picnic or a family and friends outing. Friendly staff. One can interact with rescued wild and domestic animals, braai, and canoeing is also available. Amazing work being done there, providing a home for rescued animals as well as providing local community with veterinary services. Twala needs all the support we can give, will definitely visit again.

    I absolutely LOVED IT 😍 The road to get there is a bit horrendous but definitely worth it. I love the vision they have. It's an amazing experience. Definitely would recommend a visit.

    And four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse one from another. 4 The first was like a lion, and had eagle’s wings: I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made stand upon the feet as a man, and a man’s heart was given to it. 5 And behold another beast, a second, like to a bear, and it raised up itself on one side, and it had three ribs in the mouth of it between the teeth of it: and they said thus unto it, Arise, devour much flesh. 6 After this I beheld, and lo another, like a leopard, which had upon the back of it four wings of a fowl; the beast had also four heads; and dominion was given to it.

    Such a great experience. The garden is peaceful and makes for an attractive picnic spot. It's clear that the care for the animals and all animals is front and centre of the work at Twala. The team is knowledgeable and friendly. Such a privilege to witness the lions as still wild and unharmed by or used to human presence.

    This little piece of heaven situated only a half an hour drive out of Harare is not only a soul recharging place to visit but the work they do in animal welfare both for domestic and wild animals is inspiring. So much care for sick, injured and orphaned animals. Run by wonderful people who are so passionate about what they do!

  • 5/5 evelyn g. 1 year ago on Google
    The place is serene, refreshing and educative. The parrots absolutely amazing. I recommend it to anyone who wants to be refreshed in a beautiful garden

  • 5/5 Debbie F. 4 years ago on Google
    This is a place solely about sick or maimed animals and the people who help them rehabilitate. The care and attention going to all of the animals here is absolutely brilliant- every person caring for the animals is totally dedicated to getting them well and back on their feet and hopefully back into the wild if that is where they are from. They need a lot of support for visitors to come visit and learn what they are doing there to keep feed and medication coming in. This is a super place. Lovely little cake and milkshake café. U can take your own picnic and braais with u. WELL WORTH THE VISIT

  • 5/5 Tendy Culinary F. 2 years ago on Google

    Beautiful nice presentation

  • 5/5 Duncan R. 5 years ago on Google
    Well worth a visit if you like animals. After being shown round by Colin, the most pleasant and knowledgeable head warden we sat in the shade using the provided tables to enjoy our own picnic. There is a lovely grassed area to be shared with giant tortoises, white parakeets and even the odd duiker (small antelope). Even a swimming pool to cool off. * No animal is turned away, there are over 50 dogs, cats, a lion, numerous birds and even a small dragon type reptile! A fantastic day out!

  • 3/5 Simba S. 5 years ago on Google
    A serene place with a taste of wildlife just less than 50km from CBD. It's the source of the roaring that echoes in the night around the area. Shungu the lion decorates the night with powerful roars that add the wild essence to the recreational places around the area.
