Chilojo Cliffs, Red sandstone cliffs in Gonarezhou National Park, Zimbabwe.
The Chilojo Cliffs extend for 30 kilometers along the Runde River, featuring distinct red and white sandstone bands that rise 180 meters above the valley.
The cliffs became part of Gonarezhou National Park in 1975 when the area transformed from a game reserve into a protected national territory.
The park's name, Gonarezhou, originates from the Shona language and reflects the substantial elephant population that inhabits the surrounding wilderness.
Access to the cliffs requires advance planning, and the optimal viewing period occurs between May and October during the dry season.
The formations reveal geological layers that change color throughout the day, reaching maximum intensity during sunrise and sunset hours.

From Ireland's 214-meter Cliffs of Moher to China's vertical peaks in Zhangjiajie, these natural formations mark Earth's most notable vertical landscapes. The collection spans coastal features like Dover's white chalk cliffs and inland monuments such as Yosemite's El Capitan. Notable sites include Norway's Preikestolen, Hawaii's Kalaupapa cliffs reaching 1,010 meters, and Pakistan's Trango Towers, the world's highest vertical cliffs.
