Bushmen Rock Art
Matobo Hills is known for having one of the most prolific collections of rock art in Southern Africa. These paintings date back over 13 000 years and depict the rich history of the area.
Game Drives
Explore Matobo Hills in an open 4x4 vehicle, driven by your safari guide. Encounter the region's wildlife during early morning and late afternoon drives – the times of day when animals are most active. Learn about the wildlife, their tracks, and the surrounding plants from your expert guide as you experience close-up encounters. On your game drives, enjoy morning coffee, snacks, and evening sundowners set against the beautiful backdrop of a savanna sunset.
Rhino Trekking on Foot
Matobo Hills has one of the last populations of wild white rhinos in the world. With your experienced private guide, you’ll be able to get close to these magnificent animals making for some great photographic opportunities.
Walking & Hiking
Walking safaris in Matobo Hills present a rare opportunity to explore the African wild on foot. By stepping away from the safari vehicle, you can fully immerse in the environment, awakening your senses to the sights and sounds of nature.
