Zimbabwe: Gonarezhou National Park reopens at the end of February 2021!

update (26 February 2021): Gonarezhou National Park will be open from 01 March 2021!

Gonarezhou National Park in south-eastern Zimbabwe is closed since 10 January 2021 and is set to reopen the end of February 2021. During the temporary closure, the National Park's infrastructure team addresses maintenance issues in the camps. The short closure of Gonarezhou National Park to tourism also allows the roads a rest over traditionally the wettest months of the year in Zimbabwe.
The camps in Gonarezhou National Park (Mananga Camps, Chinguli and Chilojo Bushcamp) all closed at the end of November 2020 as usual and are scheduled to reopen again at the start of April 2021.
Gonarezhou National Park is located in the South-East Lowveld in the Masvingo Province, south of Chimanimani along the border with Mozambique. It covers an area of just more than 5 000 km² and is home to 400 species of birds, 89 species of mammals, 61 species of small mammals and insectivores as weel as to 50 species of fish. Zimbabwe's second largest National Park after Hwange National Park forms part of the Great Limpopo Transfrontier Park, a peace park that links it with Kruger National Park in South Africa and Limpopo National Park in Mozambique.
