GONAREZHOU NATIONAL PARK

Zimbabwe

Gonarezhou National Park

Meaning ‘place of elephants’ Gonarezhou is Zimbabwe’s second-largest national park, extending across a vast area of baobab-dotted scrubland and pale orange sandstone cliffs. It is home to 4 of Africa’s ‘Big Five’ – elephant, leopard, lion and buffalo – as well as a multiplicity of other animal and bird species.

Best time to visit Gonarezhou National Park

Zimbabwe, like its neighbours Zambia and Botswana has a very similar climate with the rainy season running from November through to mid April. The cooler winter months are drier. 

The dry months (June to October) is the best time to visit Gonarhezou National Park. Animals are easier to spot because the bush is thinner and animals hang around the places where there is water.

Wildlife

In addition to elephant, Gonarezhou is home to lion, leopard, cheetah, rhino, buffalo, zebra, giraffe and several antelope species including herds of nyala.
