The lounge and bar with its glass walls as well as a balcony offers unforgettable views of the surroundings. The Matobo Hills Lodge is famous for its scrumptious meals, which can be taken in the dining room or the open-air gazebo. Mealtimes can be adapted to suit game drives

The population of brightly coloured lizards always fascinate visitors, while the bird population of more than 200 species keeps birders entertained and glued to their binoculars.
