Abathwa Resorts

Abathwa Resorts offers a unique lodging experience set amidst the dramatic landscapes of the Matobo Hills in Zimbabwe, just a short drive from the entrance to the famed Matobo National Park. The resort takes its name from the Nguni term 'Abathwa,' referring to the San people, the earliest known indigenous inhabitants of Southern Africa, and incorporates this heritage into its design and atmosphere. This integration of tradition with modern amenities provides a harmonious retreat for those seeking tranquility and cultural connection.

The accommodation options at Abathwa Resorts are thoughtfully designed to blend with the natural environment, featuring three distinct styles: The Colosseum residence, the luxury huts of the Abathwa Royal House, and the glamping tents. Each offers a unique lodging experience, with the architectural style reflecting the rounded granite kopjes typical of the Matobo Hills. The interiors offer a romantic and serene setting where natural stone elements and soft linens create a cozy sanctuary.

The Colosseum, known as the resort's signature architectural masterpiece, is a private residence offering secluded tranquility without sacrificing proximity to nearby attractions. The luxury huts at the Abathwa Royal House provide a nod to ancient architectural designs, creating an organic circle that emphasizes comfort in every curve. Meanwhile, Abathwa glamping tents elevate the outdoor experience, combining high-altitude comfort with the raw beauty of the Matobo wilderness.

Abathwa Resorts serves as a perfect base for exploration and adventure. It is ideally located for visits to UNESCO World Heritage sites and the opportunity for world-class rhino tracking. The resort's setting invites guests to rediscover the magic of Matobo, with activities like exploring hidden caves and enjoying the region's enchanting sunsets. The atmosphere is one of profound quiet and effortless luxury, making it suitable for both romantic getaways and adventurous outdoor experiences.
