About

A rocky hill at Domboshawa, a quick drive from Harare, with a marked hiking trail, rock paintings and wide views from the top. It is rated 4.4 from 273 Google reviews and suits families, including those with young children, and anyone wanting a short hike close to the city.

One family found the climb easy enough for the children, following arrows painted on the ground and scrambling across the rocks, and loved the bright yellow-green lichen. Others come for the sunset, with a braai or drinks after the hike, and one regular calls it a favourite whenever they miss the outdoors. Reviewers recommend making time for the rock paintings, and one heard singing drift up from the surrounding neighbourhoods on a Sunday.

The one gripe is navigation. A visitor felt clearer signs and directions around the park would help you see everything it offers in a short visit.
