Chinhoyi Caves, formerly known as Sinoia Caves, are renowned for the Wonder Hole, a dramatic sinkhole with vertical walls that drop 150 feet to a crystal-clear, blue pool ideal for scuba diving. Discovered by Frederick Courtney Selous in 1887, these limestone caves reveal archaeological evidence of human activity dating back to around AD 650.

    It's definitely a must-see. It's close to the main road, so if you are just passing by, it won't be much of a detour. Be sure to wear hiking shoes as there are lots of stairs. Having a torch handy is helpful as the dark caves didn't have light due to an electrical fault.

    What a scary place? The dark hole is something else, very steep stone steps which are close to each oher, I am sure it is for easy stepping since the place is dark. Some of the stones are slippery, one has to take extreme caution when walking down or up these stairs. Monkeys and baboons added a spectacular view to the Chinhoyi Caves. I loved every step and sight, apart from the stench smell that comes from the caves.

    Picture this: a labyrinth of tunnels and caverns made of limestone and dolomite, leading to a main cave with the most stunning cobalt blue pool you've ever seen. Seriously, it's like something out of a dream. And get this – no one knows how deep that pool goes! But who cares when it's filled with crystal-clear water for your photos. The walk down to the main pool was an experience in itself, but totally worth it. It's a well-kept spot that's just waiting to blow your mind. But wait, there's more! While you're there, don't miss the lion enclosure where you can catch a glimpse of Dingani and Laila, two majestic lions. It's an extra thrill to add to your adventure! Sure, there isn't much else around the caves, but if you're up for a bit of an adventure, it's definitely worth the 1.5-hour drive from Harare.

    Amazing pools! Close to the main road, literally few steps away. Recommending you all to wear good grip shoes and be careful when walking down into the caves.
