Gonarezhou National Park

Gonarezhou – Magnificent wilderness experience

As implied by its name, which means “place of the elephants” there are plenty of trunks and tusks patrolling its vast and diverse landscape.  Lower in altitude and hotter than anywhere else in Zimbabwe, Gonarezhou National Park exudes a sense of remoteness.  

We LOVE Gonarezhou for a number of reasons but the main one being the lack of operators and vehicles in this park.  Pristine bush with skittish wildlife who get as much a surprise as you do when you come across them. The thrill leaves goose-bumps!.

The mighty Chilojo Cliffs is a highlight of a trip to this park.  Its bands of yellow and rhubarb-pink sandstone run for kilometres before breaking away into individual stacks towering above the Runde River – making the herds of giant elephant look like specs at the foot of these awe-inspiring cliffs.

Gonarezhou Activities

Game Drives

Game drives are the ultimate and most quintessential experience in Africa. It is, typically, where you’ll get a chance to see wildlife in their true habitat.

Bird Watching

Zimbabwe is one of the best value of birding destinations in Africa. It boasts more the 400 species throughout the country, making it an essential country to visit.

Walking Safari

Walking safaris completely change your outlook on wildlife, birds, insects and the wilderness that surrounds you.  On foot, you become part of the bush and its ways.  Exceptionally high guiding standards due to a rigorous training programme make this a top destination for seasonal walking safaris.
