Matobo Hills

The place

Designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Matopos Hills are defined by dramatic granite outcrops.

Culture

A palpable sense of ancestral spirituality and eons of history, combined with the experience of sleeping in a cave where the San bushmen did, make Amalinda a prime destination.

Flora & fauna

Known for rhinos, this area also has the world’s densest leopard population, thanks to abundant hyrax (which make up half of the cat’s diet).

When to go

Year-round

Getting here

Take a private road transfer from the Hwange region (3-4 hours), or from Bulawayo Airport (1 hour).
