Matusadona Safaris Matusadona National Park

Matusadona National Park’s checklist of 350 bird species includes a wealth of waterbirds associated with Lake Kariba. The dead mopane trees in the lake shallows are a popular perch for cormorants, darters and African fish eagles. A boat trip in Sanyati Gorge offers a chance to spot rarities such as Verreaux’s eagle, African finfoot, white-backed night heron and African broadbill. Migratory birds are present from November to April.

Best Time for Bird Watching

The birdlife in Matusadona is good all year, but at its best from November to April. This is the nesting season for resident birds, as well as the time of arrival of migratory birds from Europe and northern Africa. From May to October, when the bush has dried out, is the best time for viewing wildlife.
