Amalinda Lodge

Escape from the ordinary at Amalinda Lodge
A luxury sanctuary that channels the captivating culture and powerful spiritual energy of the renowned Matobo Hills.

Matopos National Park is both Zimbabwe’s oldest and smallest National Park, home to rock formations called “kopjes” which date back over 2 million years. Meaning “bald head” in the local Ndebele language, Matobo provides endless landscapes and an opportunity to see one of Africa’s most iconic endangered species…the rhino.
