Matobo Hills Lodge is a unique retreat nestled within a UNESCO World Heritage Site, offering guests the rare opportunity to sleep among ancient granite kopjes in the heart of Matobo National Park. Our lodge combines natural stone architecture with sweeping views of the surrounding hills, delivering an immersive and comfortable wilderness experience.
We cater to the discerning traveller seeking both adventure and tranquillity. Our guided activities include rhino tracking on foot, sunset drives through dramatic landscapes, and cultural excursions to ancient rock art sites. The lodge is also a haven for birders, with species like the elusive Cape Eagle Owl and Black Eagle frequenting the area.
At Matobo Hills Lodge, warm hospitality meets practical comfort. Our team is known for their exceptional service, and our cuisine blends local flavours with international favourites. With 17 en-suite stone-thatched chalets, a swimming pool, and panoramic dining areas, we provide a relaxed, safe, and authentic Zimbabwean experience.
Whether you’re including us in a longer circuit or offering a short escape into Zimbabwe’s oldest national park, Matobo Hills Lodge adds soul, history, and story to your itinerary.
