    A charming small nature reserve. Great for a nice afternoon in nature.

    Very disappointing as a tourist and a new fellow Zimbabwean.. 1. Your sign says 20 dollars bond for each person and because im white and with my Africa brother you charge us 25 bond each for what to see 3 animals that look unhealthy... 2. We asked why the crocodile didnt come closer and the woman said sorry there's no food for them and it looked unhealthy and same with the snakes + don't call yourself an animal park & you must not lie online its misleading to the world!! 3. Someone needs to buy this place and fix it up because the people running it now are running it into the ground..I understand this place was amazing 10 years ago but now i would say as my first time there i wouldnt go back nor would i waste my money..

    the place is worth a visit if you are hanging around in the town of Mutare, with a cool breeze and a nice view of Mutare from the mountain . the wildlife reserve covers more than one thousand hectares. there is a dam which is surrounded by Musasa Woodland. it used to be a home to two elephants. the reserve also got spaces which are great for hosting birthday, graduations or even weddings. cecil kopje is so quiet especially during the working days of the week the being that it is located far away from the CBD and also that it is located near low density areas of Mutare, that is Murambi East and Morningside. It is also a good place for bird watching bird identification and bird counting since there are many bird species which include honey guide.

    Quiet getaway. Nice for picnics barbecues and family outing. Not much in terms of animals though. If lucky you might have a close encounter with the two elephants they have
