The Matobo Hills National Park is one of the few places where the rare black eagle breeds and it is also the home of rock art sites where some of the finest San paintings are found. As well as an excellent safari destination, Matobo Hills is also an area of great cultural and historical significance, including the site of Cecil John Rhodes’ grave.

The Matopos is an area of incredible beauty with a mythical history and a proud people, the Matebele.  The Matobo Hills were so named because they looked like the bald heads of indunas (chiefs). The entire region is a complex of bizarre and exposed granitic formations. 

Once inhabited by the bushman, today one can find magnificent examples of rock art in and amongst the caves. The Matobo National Park is 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.
