Matobo National Park Adventures

Explore Zimbabwe wildlife on a scenic morning game drive, and tap into the past when you visit fascinating historic cave paintings.

About Your Trip

Discover the wild beauty of Zimbabwe with a visit to Matobo National Park. Start your adventure with a reception to mix and mingle with your fellow DreamTrippers, then join them for a delicious dinner. The next day, embark on an exciting morning game drive through the granite hills. Try to spot birds and hidden wildlife from your vantage point in an open safari vehicle. Your excursion also includes a guided tour of ancient cave paintings. Our experts will weave stories of their bushman ancestors, giving you a glimpse into the region’s compelling past.

During your leisure time, you can marvel at the breathtaking views from your cozy chalet, with natural flora and fauna right outside the door.
