Matusadona National Park is flanked by gorgeous Lake Kariba in the north, and two perennial rivers, the Ume and the Sanyati. Proclaimed a National Park in 1975, it was once a conservation stronghold for African elephants and black rhinos, and a sought-after tourism destination before succumbing to neglect and poaching. In late 2019, African Parks, in partnership with the Zimbabwe Parks and Wildlife Management Authority, signed a 20-year agreement to manage this remote and rugged park and restore this stunning and unique landscape to its former glory.
