Matusadona National Park, located in northern Zimbabwe along the shores of Lake Kariba, is a lesser-known gem offering stunning landscapes, abundant wildlife, and a rugged, remote wilderness experience. Here’s an overview of what makes Matusadona special and what you can look forward to when visiting:

Matusadona National Park

Matusadona National Park is a small Zimbabwean park situated along the shores of Lake Kariba and is roughly only 1 400 sq km in size. The park is world famous for offering visitors an incredible wildlife and safari experience incorporating this famous lake, while it is one of the few places remaining where black rhino can regularly be seen in Southern Africa.
Guests at Matusadona can enjoy activities including game drives, walking safaris, boat and canoe excursions, offering a safari experience at any time of year. Matusadona has remarkable natural beauty with scenic landscapes and beautiful sunsets, making it a superb destination for keen photographers.
The name of this park comes from the Mutuzviadonha Hills – the rugged mountainous region of this park, named by the locals. It is surrounded by river boundaries, giving it a good supply of water and attracting wildlife. Many of the animals were originally relocated here during Operation Noah when the Kariba Dam flooded and became Lake Kariba.
