90mins Drive from Bulawayo City. Home of the Black Rhinos. Worlds View nice lookout point to the valleys around

Excellent scenery and magnificent rocks formation. The place is also home to John Cecil Rhodes final resting place.

Truly an amazing place. My groupe and I where guide though this park by Ian Harmer and his colleges, and saw the rhinos up close.

It's always one of my favourite places to visit in Zimbabwe, along with the amazing views and the tranquillity of the Bush, it's also where Cecil John Rhodes is buried. So if you are passing through and you have a night or 2 stop in and soak up all this little jewel of a place has to offer.

I love this place, so close to Bulawayo. If you want to see Rhino in the wild ask the Game Rangers when you enter the national park.

An amazing place. See the san paintings at white rhino cave, climb Pomongwe summit, watch eagles soaring overheard, marvel at the balancing rock formations.

Magical place with an unusul landscape that hides many natural wonders and is full of amazing scenery.

Okay, so if you haven’t been to Matobo National Park, I assume you’ve been waiting for my review but not even I will tell you everything in detail. It’s worth paying a visit. You can visit the World Heritage site, go on cultural trips or go on a game drive and oh, just take in some fresh air.

Truly an amazing place. Ian Harmer, our experienced and knowledgeable guide, edged our group within 10M of the herd of rhinos. He also shared the story of Lord Baden-Powell, the founder of Boy Scouts and his early campground in the park.

Great place to enjoy nature and learn history with family.

Great tourist resort. The park is managed by the Zimbabwe National Parks. It is home to the legendary mystical Njelele shrine. Many a wars have been fought and settled on these hills, the most prominent being Ihloka elibomvu war. The place has many historic caves with cave paintings recording thousands of years of history. There are balancing rocks which to defy the laws of gravity among them the awe inspiring child and mother rock, which seems to be shape of a mother carrying her child on her back. If you are lucky you will be able to see the much protected rhinoceros and other animals that call this place home. Of course you have to visit the world view a place where the grave of Cecil John Rhodes is found. From that vantage point you can see the Matopos sprawled majestically below you as if begging you to decipher its mysteries.

It was amazing indeed.. beautiful scenery.. balancing rocks and exotic forests.

Such a historic place,scenic & beautiful.loved it!!

These majestic hills on granite are nature's cathedrals. The way the balance and stand out are grand. The cave paintings are magnificent.

Such a nice to relax and enjoy nature

You can come for just drive and hike into (for 15 USD) or you can ask for guide who will take you to rhinos in 5m distance (for 20 USD / 2h). Amazing experience!

Very butiful

Great experience trailing White Rhinos at a close range of about 10 metres.

Oohh it's always a lovely trip, refreshes the soul too..

Beautiful place, heritage bound, a must visit!!!

A park that doesn’t have much wildlife, however the scenery is incredible. San paintings and Cecil John Rhodes grave make it a worthwhile visit. If the park can be allocated resources to improve the fences and protect the animals, I think it would be one of the most unique parks in Southern Africa.

Visited several times and camped here once for an entire week. The scenery is surreal, out of this world. There is just so much to see and learn about. The bird watching is top knotch and there are always herbivores lurking somewhere in the thickets. I will be back again and again!

The Matobo nationalpark used to be a great park. Unfortunately are there no animals anymore. The roads are also not looking like a nationalpark due to many litter on the side of the roads. However, I can't recommend this park anymore!

Stunning...rock formations and landscape

One of the most majestic places to visit when in Bulawayo

Nice Views

Scenic views of Castle Kopjes that bear Unique Rock Art Heritage. Greatly rich in flora and fauna. Quite a good retreat for Savanna climate fanatics.

I grew up here it is just so disappointing to see that the herds of sable and eland have disappeared and the cost to visit the area and highlight spots have double fee structures.

Huge Stone geology and undulating terrain make this a beautiful place, not to mention Livingstone's resting place. Well worth a visit.

It was beautiful. dams all full and overflowing. Got stuck twice in the national park side, it was awesome!

I feel they could have added mini maps for tourists as there is no network in the park whatsoever. In the long term They should also put network busters in the park so that there is network in the park to avoid any complications

The views were amazing

Can be better. I wish they gave out small maps on what's where as there is no network in the whole park.

Balancing rocks

The place has lovely roads to drive on, they’re so good a small car can manage if you stay on the main roads. Ensure to take enough drinking water and food. You can spot some Kudus, Zebras 🦓 and lots of monkeys 🐒

The place is cul

You just cant get lost

Am is my home village

Great adventureous place

(Translated by Google) In Matobo NP you can enjoy tranquility and incredibly beautiful nature. We were most impressed by the bizarre rock formations, the rock paintings and the tomb of Cecil Rhodes. In early February there were hardly any tourists like us here, the weather was perfect and we really enjoyed our stay. (Original) Im Matobo NP genießt man Ruhe und unheimlich schöne Natur. Die bizarren Gesteinsformationen, die Felsmalereien und das Grab von Cecil Rhodes haben uns am meisten beeindruckt. Anfang Februar waren kaum Touristen wie wir hier, das Wetter war perfekt und wir haben unseren Aufenthalt sehr genossen.

🌟

The history of our mother land at large.

Serene place. Nice chalets

Loved the drive through the park

Amazing!

Matobo National Park in my opinion is the most serene of all the game parks found in Zimbabwe. The rocky terrain induces an unexplainable sense of euphoria

You pay 15 USD per person and 10 USD for car to entance to the park. Then when you are inside if you want to see cave or Rother Cecil grave you have to pay another 10 USD per person for that... This is why in South Africa are a lots of tourists and in Zimbabwe just a little. You treat tourists like stupid cash mashine.

The best place to be!!!!

Always stunning.....

The home of balanced beautiful rocks.. it is a refreshing place

Cecil John Rhodes called it the world's view and is the resting place of modern time explorers of Africa.

Great experience.

Beautiful

Its beautiful go with plenty of time on your hands to explore slowly this naturally beautiful place

Except few beautiful impala/antelopes and similar trees all along our drive, we were not lucky to see anything different in this park.Though the balancing rocks everywhere is unique across the park, the empty maleme dam and the hot climate makes you very tired. We are happy to see the several free cave paintings of the Bush men who left their stamp in the sands of the time. Paying additional 10 USD for Rhodes grave and small world view point looks ridiculous to me and hence I skipped this monument. Entry ticket for tourists is reasonable at 15 US dollars. Fortunately we were group of 4 people and paid 80 US dollars for private car that dropped us back at bulawayo and hence I was not much disappointed.

Beautiful scenic views 😍😍

Wonderful place with great Mountain views. Great place to have some time alone or with your loved ones .

(Translated by Google) One of the most beautiful parks in Zimbawe. Especially because of the grave of Livingstone as well as the rock formation of stones that are stacked on top of each other. These can also be seen on Zimbabwe's money. Not far from the Chobe National Park. (Original) Een van de mooiste parken van Zimbawe. Vooral omwille van het graf van Livingstone alsook de rotsformatie van stenen die wel op elkaar zijn gestapeld. Deze zijn ook te zien op het geld van Zimbabwe. Niet ver van het Chobe nationalpark.

Spectacular views!

Come see it for yourself

It's awesome

The granite formations are some of the most beautiful in the world, differently worth a stop. You will see some white rhino and if you go with a company that specializes in rhino tracking you can see some black rhino.

Sight seeing adventurous areas i will visit again

Great place with scenic views dotted all over the park. During the wet season you are likely to see a lot of wildlife even close to the roads. Several rhinos here too

I love going here. Very tranquil. The elusive rhino is in here somewhere

Lovely service

Service was excellent

I always stay here when I visit byo, great service awesome food, and stuff is way too friendly, half the time I'm joking with them.

Loved the service, a pleasant environment to stay in with well kept rooms.

A lovely retreat away from the heat and dust of Bulawayo city streets. The location on the side of a rocky hill (koppie) is very scenic. The rooms are nice, but sometimes, the showerhead is a bit blocked. The breakfast is good. The owners are always on site and ensure a very efficient and friendly service. They helped us with lifts and storing our baggage. Definitely a place you can relax that you will be taken care of.

Lodge is beautiful rooms are lovely . Jst need to improve on the time you get served for lunch or dinner otherwise the rooms are very nice stuff is good .

Nice clean rooms executive to die for

Trouble with water and electricity in the town was a bit of an issue, but they handled it well

Hospitality was very good

Friendly place

Very Good

Very decent accomodation...

Great Park. It would do better with tour guides. Only saw kudus, zebra, giraffe and monkeys. I'm sure we could have seen more if we had a tour guide or someone to explain where to look

So much to see and do so little time to do it all!!! Great place for family trips and zim history understanding. Recommend it highly.

This is the best place to visit. I guarantee, there is the best scenery of all-time.

it's breath taking so relaxing and good view

Matopos is just a treasure trove

Nice place to be Enjoyed watching white rhino

A great park. One of the best I've been to. Amazing for photography. The National Park accommodation could do with some love though. $150usd a night with no running water

Rich in history, good fresh air. It's absolutely a good nature park one of the best Zimbabwe has to offer.

The renovated double lodges are world class standard.you will always want to be glued to your room.very queit good for couples vacation.good wifi signal but no networks like netone econet and telecel

I love this place national parks have their own way of getting to the heart ♥ the foot steps to maleme are always a fav

One amazing place with so much too see experience and beautiful affordable accommodation... beautiful rock formations

Staying at Maleme Lodges, the chalets were clean and neat. Kind and friendly guides and housekeepers

The place it huge. There's need for tour guides but it's really nice, quiet and peaceful. A great place to hang with nature

This was a was a worthwhile journey to connect with history. I loved the hike up the mountain and the scenery!

Ian and the rest of his team are awesome guides! From all of our tours we did so far in Africa during our overland tour this was by far the best. You have the opportunity to get close to Rhinos and all your questions are answered in a proper detailed manner. Highly recommend!
