Zinave National Park

The Zinave National Park spans 400,000 hectares along the Save River, featuring knobthorn woodlands, savannahs, and diverse wildlife populations.

Established in 1973, the park originated as a hunting area in 1962 before receiving national park status to protect local ecosystems.

The park supports 4,200 residents who practice traditional farming methods, including rotational agriculture and sustainable resource management techniques.

Visitors can access the park through Mabote, with a two-hour drive from the EN1 turn-off at Mapinhane to reach the Tungo Tungo Gate entrance.

The park participates in an extensive wildlife restoration program, having reintroduced 783 animals including elephants, giraffes, and wildebeest since 2012.
