Zimbabwe’s most undervisited great park — a remote wilderness in the south-east that forms part of the Great Limpopo Transfrontier Conservation Area. The spectacular Chilojo Cliffs, great red sandstone battlements rising from the Runde River, frame one of Africa’s most dramatic wildlife landscapes. Gonarezhou’s elephants are known for their large tusks. Part of the Save Valley Conservancy network, the greater area harbours exceptional predator diversity.
