South Gonarezhou total wilderness in Zimbabwe
This park is not so easy to reach and is very remote. The park is known for its diverse wildlife, including elephants, lions, leopards, and over 350 bird species. It is also ""Home"" to the Chilojo Cliffs, a series of sandstone cliffs that are a popular spot for rock climbing and abseiling.
The park is also ""Home"" to several historical and cultural sites, including the ruins of several Shona settlements that date back to the 15th century. Visitors can also learn about the local culture and way of life by visiting the local communities that live near the park. Gonarezhou is one of the most important conservation areas in Zimbabwe and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and it is also one of the most remote and least visited national parks in the country. So visitors should be prepared for a rugged and wild experience. Visitors can take part in a variety of activities in the park, such as safari drives, walking safaris, and canoe trips down the Runde River.
