Lake Chivero Recreational Park, Protected recreational area near Harare, Zimbabwe.
Lake Chivero Recreational Park spans across granite hills and woodland, featuring a reservoir with a surface area of 2,632 hectares and water depth of 27 meters.
The park became a national protected area in 1952 after the construction of the dam, later changing its status to a recreational park in 1975.
Rock art sites within the park, including Bushman's Point, display ancient artifacts that reflect the historical presence of indigenous populations in the region.
The park offers accommodations ranging from camping sites with ablution blocks to electrified lodges equipped with modern amenities and views of the lake.
White rhinoceros roam freely in their natural habitat alongside giraffes, zebras, and wildebeests, making it a notable wildlife observation site near Zimbabwe's capital.
