The Matobo Hills are an area of extraordinary, tightly-packed granite rock formations and narrow woodland valleys 35 kilometres south of Bulawayo, the second largest city in Zimbabwe.
The Matobo National Park forms the core of a massive area which covers 3100km² of diverse terrain. Created over 2 billion years ago, the hills were formed when granite was forced to the surface, which has, over time, been eroded to form an area of broken kopjes strewn artistically with boulders, and interspersed with thick vegetation. Declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2003, the Matobo Hills represent untamed, raw beauty.
