Khayelitshe House

Khayelitshe House is an exclusive-use villa set within 1200 acres of private land bordering the UNESCO Matobo National Park

This eco-conscious, off-grid retreat is ideal for active families looking to explore the national park away from the distractions of everyday life. Fully staffed with a private chef, guide, and host, families can truly unwind and focus on the many activities the area has to offer. The four luxury suites are all equipped with rain showers and clawfoot bathtubs, while the decked swimming pool, outdoor fireplace and children’s play area provide plenty of places for the family to bond after a day of activities. 

With a dedicated private guide, families can explore Matobo’s breathtaking landscapes of granite boulders and towering kopjes, formed nearly two billion years ago. The park is home to ancient rock art sites—some over 13,000 years old—offering a captivating glimpse into the lives of the San people

It’s also the premier destination in Zimbabwe for tracking both black and white rhinos, with guided walking safaris providing unforgettable close encounters with these iconic creatures.

Returning to the house, families can explore the surrounding landscape on mountain bikes, enjoying an exclusive slice of this spectacular national park.
