Greystone Nature Preserve- Travel Tips What to See, How to Plan & Tours: Natural Scenery; Zimbabwe; 5 Reviews

Suggested Duration: 3 hours

Nestled in a northeastern suburb of Harare, Greystone Nature Preserve emerged from a residents-led effort to safeguard a shrinking urban wetland and the Wenwick Dam catchment it supports. It offers a rich mosaic of seasonally moist grassland, woodland, and riverine fringe ecosystems, where visitors walk well-maintained trails under ancient Celtis africana trees and discover both native wildflowers—such as Brachystelma, Floscopa, and the orchid Orthochilus mechowii—and naturalized exotic plants that together form an unusually diverse semi-urban ecosystem. The area is also a vital bird habitat, hosting species ranging from weavers and warblers to kingfishers and, on summer afternoons, soaring raptors—all testament to a quietly thriving conservation project in the city's heart.

It's a a quiet place for walks. The road near the park is very busy so walks need to take caution when getting there.

Enjoy morning walks in the park. It's very lush and a nice place to escape.

I was pretty happy to be here. The beauty of nature is wonderful. You can see so many bright colors of flowers and plants. The walking trails were plentiful and well maintained. Thank you Kennan Properties. There's a cool wooden bridge near the Gaydon Rd side as well as a stream that's nice to sit and listen to the sound of gently falling water. I'll be back for sure.
