Situated roughly 10 km southeast of Bulawayo along the Matopos Road, Tshabalala Game Sanctuary spans around 1,200 hectares of thornveld savannah dominated by acacia species—the only game park in Zimbabwe where acacia predominates. Serving both wildlife and birdlife enthusiasts, the sanctuary supports over 200 bird species, including tawny eagles, secretarybirds, red-crested korhaans, and purple rollers, alongside grazers such as impala, zebra, giraffe, warthog, and tsessebe. With safe, walkable terrain free of dangerous predators, visitors can explore on foot, cycle, drive, or ride horses, fully immersing themselves in the rhythms of this acacia-fringed bushland just beyond the city's edge.

    The close proximity to the lion is a thrilling yet exciting experience. Due to tall grass all antelopes where out site.

    The braai is great, however, the service delivery in terms of waiters can do with improvements. There are few animals to see, other than the occasional birds, some lions, bucks and zebras there's really nothing much to see.
