The Matobo Hills are a UNESCO World Heritage Site: granite domes and balancing rocks shaped over millions of years. Most of Bulawayo calls it Matopos, and it is the first trip most of our travellers take.

A day here can include World's View, caves painted by San hunter-gatherers thousands of years ago, quiet picnic spots among the kopjes, and a drive through the national park, home to rhino, zebra and antelope. We also run day trips to Lumene Falls, a waterfall and picnic spot outside the city.
