Half-Day Game Drive (includes park fees):

• US$90 per person (minimum 2 guests)
• US$135 private (1 person)
• Children (4–11): US$65

Full-Day Game Drive (includes lunch & park fees):

• US$165 per person (minimum 2 guests)

Full-day experiences include rhino tracking on foot, San rock art caves, World's View, and a two-course bush lunch.

Rhino tracking involves walking on uneven terrain for 2–3 hours, but we keep a comfortable pace and stop frequently. You don't need to be an athlete — just reasonably mobile. Our guides tailor each walk to the group's ability.

If you have mobility concerns, let us know when booking. We can suggest gentler alternatives like game drives or cave visits.

Most activities welcome children of all ages — including game drives, cave visits, and World's View. However, on-foot rhino tracking has a minimum age of 12 for safety reasons.

For younger children, we offer gentler alternatives: guided nature walks on the lodge property, bird spotting, and cultural experiences.

National park fees: Children 6–12 pay reduced rates, under 6 free.

Absolutely. You don't need to stay overnight to experience Matobo with us. Day visitors can book any activity — from a half-day game drive to the full-day adventure.

We recommend booking at least 48 hours ahead, especially during peak season (May–October).

Pack light, but pack smart:

• Footwear: Closed, comfortable walking shoes (not sandals)
• Clothing: Neutral colours, layers for cool mornings
• Sun protection: Hat, sunscreen, sunglasses
• Camera: Binoculars if you have them

We'll supply refreshments — just bring your sense of adventure.

No — the Matobo Hills are a malaria-free zone due to the high altitude. No prophylaxis is needed. One less thing to worry about when planning your trip.

Most activities depart early to catch the cooler hours and best wildlife sightings:

• Morning activities: 6:00–6:30 AM departure
• Full-day adventures: 6:00 AM, returning late afternoon
• Afternoon/sunset: 3:00–4:00 PM departure

Not a morning person? Afternoon cave visits and sunset at World's View are stunning alternatives.

We strongly recommend travel insurance. In emergencies, we may offer credit toward a future visit at our discretion.
