Matusadona National Park holds extraordinary potential to become a leading safari tourism destination offering exceptional game viewing from both land and the lake, creating much-needed revenue for surrounding communities. From an average of US$80,000 per annum preceding 2019, the generation of US$351,246 in 2023 clearly shows that the park’s profile with regional and local visitors is rising. Several new campsites were opened, including one with a game-rich inland spring and a campsite with a spectacular viewpoint on the escarpment.
There is increasing reinvestment into other lodges and a burgeoning houseboat industry that supports many hundreds of people, all leading to greater stability in the area. A new ferry offers reliable and affordable transport between the park and the nearby town of Kariba thereby improving accessibility for visitors.
Every day we work to conserve Africa’s vital biodiversity for the benefit of people and wildlife.
