Things to see in Zimbabwe: Matusadona National Park
This relatively unknown wilderness bordering Lake Kariba, dates from 1958, when the Kariba Dam flooded the Zambezi Valley to create a huge man-made lake.
Elephant, buffalo, and healthy populations of antelope guarantee the presence of predators such as lion, leopard and cheetah, which are all plentiful, and although increasingly rare, black rhino is a speciality
The birdlife is exceptional due to the varied habitats, and more than 400 species have been recorded here.
