MATUSADONA NATIONAL PARK
Rhino Safari Camp lies on a peninsula-shaped private concession on the north-western edge of the iconic Matusadona National Park, along the southern shores of Lake Kariba. Unfenced and open to the mainland, it’s a place where water and bush meet, and wildlife roams freely through the area.
From elephants and antelope to lion, leopard, and countless bird species, Rhino Island is a small, wild paradise within one of Zimbabwe’s most remarkable wilderness areas.
MATUSADONA:
The WILD HEARTH of ZIMBABWE
Set along the vast shores of Lake Kariba, Matusadona National Park is a remote wilderness of rolling hills, open plains and shimmering waters. Home to elephants, lions, buffalo and exceptional birdlife, it offers an authentic safari experience in one of Zimbabwe’s most unspoiled landscapes. Here, dramatic scenery and abundant wildlife create the perfect setting for exploration, adventure and discovery.
Matusadona National Park
Matusadona National Park is one of Zimbabwe’s most iconic protected areas, named after the rolling Matusadona hills that define its water-rich landscape. Covering nearly 1,500 km², the Park stretches from Lake Kariba up to the Zambezi Valley escarpment (north to south) and from the Ume River to the Sanyati River (west to east).
IMMERSE YOURSELF in AFRICA'S RAW BEAUTY
Its terrain includes undulating, wooded hills; perennial springs; tall riverine vegetation; and open grasslands along the lake’s northern boundary. One of the park’s most striking natural features is the forest of drowned trees along the shoreline — an atmospheric landscape that doubles as vital habitat for aquatic birds and breeding grounds for freshwater fish.
A thriving population of African Fish Eagles lives here, alongside numerous species of kingfisher, heron, stork, duck, goose and plover.
The park also supports an impressive variety of mammals, including lion, buffalo, zebra, elephant, hippo, pangolin and a wide range of antelope such as impala, kudu, bushbuck, sable, roan and eland.
Lake Kariba’s waters are rich in fish species, including bream, tilapia, tiger fish and catfish, among others.
