Located in the Masvingo Province of Zimbabwe, Mutirikwe Recreational Park lies near the shores of Lake Mutirikwe, formerly known as Lake Kyle. The park features diverse landscapes, from lush, tree-lined shores to rugged hills, providing a picturesque setting for outdoor activities. Established in the 1960s, it was initially developed around the lake's creation, which serves as a vital resource for irrigation and hydroelectric power. The park includes a variety of amenities such as camping sites, picnic areas, and self-catering cottages, making it ideal for both short visits and extended stays. Popular attractions include boat cruises on the lake, fishing, and hiking along scenic trails that provide panoramic views of the surrounding countryside.
