Gonarezhou Elephant Frontier Safari - Image 1

Tour Overview

Gonarezhou National Park, meaning "Place of Many Elephants," is Zimbabwe's second-largest national park and one of its most untouched wilderness areas. Home to over 11,000 elephants, the park features the spectacular red sandstone Chilojo Cliffs rising 180 metres above the Runde River. This frontier safari takes you deep into a park that sees fewer than 2,000 visitors per year, offering exclusive game viewing of elephant mega-herds, lions, wild dogs, and rare nyala antelope. The Save-Runde confluence creates a wildlife paradise unlike anywhere else in Zimbabwe.
