Matopos Hills National Park

The home of eagles

Known for its iconic gigantic granite rocks and one of the spectacular landscapes in the region.  Matopos has the highest concentration of rock art in southern Africa dating back at least 13000 years. The national park which preserves the area also conserves the highly endangered and specially protected animal species such as the white rhino and the elusive leopards that inhabit the rocky terrain preying for the rock dassie. The park also boasts one of the largest populations of black eagles in the world. A rare and royal bird in stature, the black eagle rules the skies of Matopos landscapes which they share with the African fish eagle, the brown snake eagle and the martial eagle.
