Bumbusi National Monument, Archaeological site in Matabeleland North Province, Zimbabwe.

Bumbusi National Monument is an archaeological site with sandstone walls, platforms, and dwelling ruins scattered across elevated rock outcrops. The remains of at least eighteen individual homes are dispersed throughout the site.

Bumbusi's main structures were built in the 18th and 19th centuries on sandstone kopjes, whose rock was levelled and reused in the walls. Excavations in 2000 revealed the floors of eighteen original dwellings. The site was declared a National Monument in 1946, and in 2008 the World Monuments Fund listed it among the World Monuments Watch's 100 most endangered sites because wild animals from Hwange National Park threaten the sandstone walls.

The name Bumbusi most likely comes from the river that runs about 9.6 km through the valley below the monument, which sits on its crest. The ruins belong to the Great Zimbabwe building tradition, and the sandstone used for the walls was cut from the kopjes levelled to make the site.

The site lies in a remote area within Hwange National Park, so a visit requires good planning and realistic expectations about accessibility. It is important to contact authorities in advance and inquire about access options.

The sandstone for the walls was quarried on the spot: builders levelled the kopjes and reused the cut rock in the masonry. The site is probably named after the Bumbusi river, which runs about 9.6 km through the valley below the crest. In 2008 the World Monuments Fund listed it among 100 endangered sites.
