About
A reservoir on the edge of Harare, close enough for a quick escape but with an out-of-town feel. It is rated 3.9 from 173 Google reviews and suits families, couples and church or work groups planning a relaxed, low-cost day outdoors.
Visitors list plenty to do: canoe hire, pony rides, a rough football pitch and lots of braai spots, some with shaded rondavels. One family who returned after years away were pleasantly surprised to find toilets, and met a herd of wildebeest on the drive in. Dogs on leads are welcome, and riders bring their own horses to ride the roads. Several reviewers stress how affordable it is.
Bring what you need: food, drinks, ice, and charcoal or wood for the braai. Outside of events it is quiet. One visitor warns that the gates are locked in the evening and staff go off duty, so leave in good time or check which exit stays open.
