Zimbabwe has some of the oldest rock formations in the world and some of the most exposed. This is especially dramatic in the Matobo National Park south of Bulawayo where spectacular examples of these primitive granitic formations are to be found. The Matobos were named by Mzilikazi the 'Ama tobo', after the bald heads of his indunas (chiefs). The entire region is a complex of bizarre and exposed granitic formations providing one with endless days of exploration. Once inhabited by the bushman, today one can find magnificent examples of rock art in and amongst the caves. Today the Matobo National Park is one of Zimbabwe's prime wildlife sanctuaries with a large population of white rhino, the elusive black rhino, a variety of antelope species, baboon, rock hyraxes and a large population of leopard and black eagle and the grave of Cecil John Rhodes is there.
