Mashonaland West
The provincial capital, Chinhoyi, has an extraordinary natural wonder to offer her visitors. Not far from town lies an area in which limestone caves eroded and their ceilings collapsed. The water in one of these sinkholes is a deep cobalt blue, due to its extreme depth, and crystal clear.
The Mana Pools and Matusadona National Parks offer breathtaking landscapes and incomparable wildlife viewing!
