Itinerary
Two days in the ancient granite hills of Matobo. Track both white and black rhino on foot with expert rangers. The journey begins and ends in Bulawayo.
Depart Bulawayo and travel to the Matobo Mountains, Zimbabwe's most sacred landscape. Arrive at a secluded lodge nestled among granite domes and check in. Immediately embark on an afternoon rhino tracking expedition on foot, moving quietly through this ancient landscape. As dusk falls, ascend a granite kopje for sunset—the stone glowing crimson and gold as the light abandons the world.
Your morning walk explores San rock art caves, where ancient paintings adorn the stone—symbols of a people connected to this landscape for millennia. Visit World's View for panoramic perspectives, then return to Bulawayo carrying memories of Matobo's spiritual richness and wild beauty.
