About
Mushandike is a wildlife sanctuary outside Masvingo built around a dam, with accommodation and a college of wildlife inside the grounds. It suits people who want game viewing and fishing at a quieter pace than the big parks, and anyone curious about how guides are trained.
Visitors mention game viewing, fishing and boating on Mushandike Dam, and one found the lake itself pretty. Another came away impressed by the lecturers at the college, who explain the bush in a way that sticks, with face-to-face teaching rather than theory alone.
The practical side gets mixed reports. One visitor found the ablutions clean; another said most bathrooms were dirty and the water supply was erratic, and that they need a revamp. Getting in can also take a while: one reviewer described a slow, bureaucratic entry process, with ID needed to prove Zimbabwean residence. Carry your documents and give yourself time at the gate.
