Matobo National Park Luxury Family Safaris Zimbabwe
Matopo Ingwe Lodge

Matopo Ingwe Lodge offers charming rustic chalets and authentic family safaris in the nearby Matobo National Park.

Set amidst a lush valley overlooking the dramatic granite formations of the Matopo Hills, the lodge provides breathtaking views of the landscape, from its lookout terrace to the comfort of its dining areas. Families can explore the UNESCO World Heritage site with visits to the iconic Mother and Child formation or scenic walks through wooded valleys teeming with birdlife and small animals like vervet monkeys and rock rabbits.

The lodge’s location near historical and cultural landmarks is perfect for families with children who quickly lose interest on longer drives to sights. Visit the Nswatugi Caves to marvel at ancient San rock paintings or discover the Hill of the Ancestral Spirits, where Cecil John Rhodes is laid to rest. For wildlife enthusiasts, Matobo National Park offers one of the best opportunities in Zimbabwe to trek with rhinos as well as spot leopards, zebras, and a remarkable variety of birds of prey.

Back at the lodge, families can unwind by the large swimming pool, enjoy a BBQ in the tranquil setting, or gather around the firepit under the starry sky.

Matopo Ingwe Lodge stylishly combines authentic rondavel chalets with a range of family-friendly adventures, creating an unforgettable Zimbabwe safari for the whole family.
