    Overview

    Fothergill is a unique water and land-based safari experience that is perfectly sandwiched between Hwange National Park and Mana Pools. The camp is situated within the Matusadona National Park in Zimbabwe. Resting along Lake Kariba this sanctuary was named in honour of Rupert Fothergill, Rhodesia’s Chief Game Warden who led the brave wildlife rescue effort Operation Noah.

    Fothergill offers 5 individual Suites and 2 Family Suites. The lake side of the camp has lovely green lawns and is open and spacious. Each of the 3 individual tented Suites and the family Suite have sweeping views of Lake Kariba and this is highly recommended for families. The bush side of the camp is more vegetated with 2 individual Tents and 1 family Tent. This is the side that is closer to Little Fothergill.

    Each of the Suites has a small pool for cooling off. The main area has a larger pool, two separate lounge and dining tents, and a bar area. The whole camp has been protected from elephants and predators by an electric fence, the main purpose of which is for the safety of children as well as to protect the 400+ trees that are planted around the camp.

    About the Matusadona National Park

    Matusadona National Park gets its name from the rolling Matusadona hills that form part of its water-rich landscape. Flanked by Lake Kariba in the north, and two perennial rivers, the Ume and the Sanyati, this remote and rugged park is the first in Zimbabwe to fall under the African Parks mandate. Proclaimed a National Park in 1975, it was once a conservation stronghold for African elephant and black rhino, and a sought-after tourism destination. But over the years, financial resources slowly diminished and poor management impacted the parks’ wildlife. Limited road networks and manpower left some areas entirely unpatrolled resulting in rampant poaching which virtually eliminated the black rhino population and severely reduced the elephant population. While Matusadona’s wildlife has suffered, fortunately its integrity as a wilderness landscape has remained undiminished, providing an exceptional opportunity for this park to be restored.
