Where this fits in your trip
Game viewing in this part of Zimbabwe is waterhole-led: animals come to water, so the dry season from roughly July to October concentrates sightings. The Matobo Hills south of Bulawayo are a landscape of balancing granite whalebacks, with one of the densest concentrations of rock art in southern Africa, a protected white rhino population and the hilltop grave of Cecil John Rhodes. It rewards a slower, more thoughtful day than a big-game park does.
