Zimbabwe's Gonarezhou
Gonarezhou
In the southeastern corner of this region, just south of the Chimanimani Mountains, discover Zimbabwe’s second largest game reserve. Stretching 5,053km and bordering the wildlife reserves of Mozambique and South Africa, the Gonarezhou National Park offers spectacular wildlife viewing, as the animals are free to roam between the three countries.
This is a land of baobabs, scrublands and sandstone cliffs, where the Mwenezi, Save and Runde Rivers wind through the hot semi-arid lowveld and attract the rare suni antelope and the striped king cheetah, as well as some of the largest and most cantankerous elephants in the country. Formed to protect the elephant victims of incessant poaching and hunting, Gonarezhou’s elephants are less than amiable towards visitors of the human kind.
