Zimbabwe: Gonarezhou National Park closed until end of February 2025! [update]

update (17 February 2025):  The Gonarezhou National Park in Zimbabwe will be reopening its doors to the general public on 01 March 2025.

The Gonarezhou National Park in Zimbabwe has announced its annual closure from 14 January 2025, to the end of February 2025. The temporary closure to tourism during the traditionally wettest months of the year allows the tourism infrastructure team to carry out maintenance work on the camps, while camp attendants will take a break to spend time with their families.

Located in southeastern Zimbabwe, Gonarezhou National Park is the country's second-largest national park. It is managed by the Gonarezhou Conservation Trust (GCT), a pioneering partnership between the Zimbabwe Parks and Wildlife Management Authority (ZPWMA) and the Frankfurt Zoological Society (FZS) aimed at advancing protected area management.
