Matabeleland North Province

Matabeleland North Province covers 75,025 square kilometers of territory, making it the largest administrative division in Zimbabwe, bordering Botswana and Zambia.

The province emerged in 1974 when the colonial administration divided the original Matabeleland region into northern and southern territories for improved governance.

The Ndebele people form the main ethnic group in the province, alongside communities of Tonga, Nambya, and other groups maintaining their traditional practices.

The province contains seven administrative districts with Lupane as its capital, while Victoria Falls and Hwange serve as the primary commercial centers.

Located at the edge of the Kalahari Basin, the province manages extensive cattle ranches and holds Zimbabwe's largest game reserve, Hwange National Park.
