The Matobo is an area of incredible beauty with a mythical history and a proud people, the Matebele. The hills were so named because they looked like the bald heads of the indunas (chiefs). The entire region is a complex range of bizarre and exposed granite formations.
Once inhabited by the bushman, today one can find magnificent examples of rock art in the caves. This is also one of Zimbabwe’s prime wildlife sanctuaries with a large population of white rhino, the elusive black rhino, a variety of antelope species, baboon, rock hyraxes and a large population of leopard and black eagle.
The Matobo can be visited all year round, but it is probably better to avoid the summer heat and the rains of November to March.
