Besides the fact that we were all “rocked” by these magnificent views, our chalets were absolutely perfect. Everything we needed was available. It is an hour’s drive from Bulawayo and worth at least a 2 night stay. Beds and linen super comfortable. Meals have been really great and the staff are wonderfully friendly and helpful.

Such a beautiful setting, staff were very very good. An absolute must to stay and visit Matopos. We reallty enjoyed it. Rooms were very comfortable and had everything that was needed. Food was okay, could do with a little improvement, but would not stop me returning. We did get a special rate on our stay so value was very good.

My friend, who was visiting from England, and I, decided to spoil ourselves for our birthdays. The camp is beautiful! The room was comfortable with a view of the rocks that is second to none. The meals were delicious and we had a tour of the property followed by sundowners on the rocks. It was the best birthday gift ever!

OMG. What an absolutely amazing place to stay. You are sitting right on top of the granite rocks. So serene. Saw so many animals, wilder beast, zebra, impala, Eagles, mongoose, rock rabbits, birds, and last but not least, white rhinos. I was able to get so close. The rock formations were amazing. Your imagination could just run wild. Sandili, my beautiful guide, was so knowledgeable with both plants and animals. Knew medicinal properties, scientific and common names. Wealth of information. The camp staff were so friendly. The managers, Marshall and Ashley, were gorgeous, and nothing was a hassle. Thank you so much Only spent 2 days there but was thoroughly enjoyable. Next time, I will definitely be staying longer. Love, love, loved it.
