Why Matusadona National Park?
This beautiful park comprises plains, rugged mountains and the waters of Lake Kariba, the world’s largest man-made lake. It’s an excellent safari destination whether your mode of transport is a vehicle, boat, canoe or your own two feet. Lakeside, you’ll see abundant hippo and crocodile and hear the piercing cry of the African fish eagle.
On the grassy plains you’ll spot all the usual suspects – plus a stunning array of birds, including black-bellied bustard, red-billed oxpecker and pytilia, resplendent in their orange wings- With the Matusadona Mountains as backdrop against Lake Kariba, the park is a dream for photographers, particularly at sunset as the mountains illuminate under the setting sun.
