Tours leave Bulawayo at 8.30am bound for the iconic Matobo Hills. The area is a UNESCO world heritage site and is famous for its magnificent views of unique and unusual landscapes: balancing rock formations, giant granite whalebacks, secluded valleys, secret caves, light scrub bush and areas of open grassland. The Matobo Hills offer outstanding opportunities for wildlife experiences in the form of walking safaris conducted by your professional guides. This is some of the finest game viewing in the region which together with the abundant bird life and fascinating flora presents many an opportunity for a keen-eyed photographer. Along with your professional guide guests embark on a mini walking safari where they will be able to track and photograph rhino and a variety of other species of wildlife. The recommended minimum age for this activity is 6 years old. This will be an excellent opportunity for budding photographers to get some stunning wildlife photos.

Our next stop is the historic site of the grave of Cecil John Rhodes in the heart of the park on a hill called Malindidzimu in the local Ndebele language. It is also known as Worlds View due to the panoramic views of the rugged terrain. In addition to Rhodes Grave you will be able to visit the monument to the Shangani Patrol as well as the final resting places of some of Rhodes' contemporaries. The views from this location are stunning and it is a popular place to stop and enjoy lunch due to the excellent picnic facilities available at the site. After lunch there may be a possibility of visiting a curio market and picking up a keepsake to remember your adventure!

The Matobo Hills are famous for their excellent and prolific examples of stone age rock art. After lunch at Malindidzimu some light activity is the order of the day in the form of a short climb to a cave nestled in the granite hills that has some spectacular examples of the ancient rock art of the San people. Guests will have the opportunity to view the paintings up close and benefit from a talk presented by your guide explaining some of the history and culture of the San people. As the light begins to fade it will be time to begin the return journey to Bulawayo where guests will be dropped off where they were picked up from.
