Matobo National Park

Matobo National Park is a part of the larger Matobos Hills region, an area of granite kopjes and wooded hills in southern Zimbabwe, 35 miles south of Bulawayo. Matobo Hills was designated as an UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2003.

To the west of the park is the Matobo Game Park, where visitors can see white and black rhinos, sable antelope, giraffe, zebra, impala, wildebeest and ostrich. Matobo Park also has several hiking trails, and caves with ancient cave paintings.

Cecil John Rhodes, an important figure in the history of Rhodesia (modern day Zimbabwe and Zambia) is buried in the park. There is also a memorial erected by the Memorial Order of Tin Hats (MOTH) to commemorate the sacrifice of Rhodesian servicemen in World War 1 and 2.
