Gonarezhou National Park is situated in the south eastern lowveld of Zimbabwe and covers an area in excess of 5 000 square kilometres. "Gonarezhou" meaning "Place of many Elephants" is an extremely scenic park full of rugged and beautiful landscapes.
Three major rivers run through the park, forming pools and natural oases from which hundreds of species can feed and drink at its banks. Gonarezhou is home to many unique species including the endangered African Wild Dog and the rare King Cheetah. The Nyala and small Suni are two of the park’s smaller antelopes. As its name implies, Gonarezhou is famous for its elephants, and many of the largest-tusked elephants in the region may be found within the Park.
One of the most prominent and enduring natural features of Gonarezhou National Park is the beautiful Chilojo Cliffs. These magnificent red sandstone cliffs have been formed through eons of erosion and overlook the scenic Runde River valley. They are the most prominent natural feature of this beautiful area, and can be seen from 50 km away.
