Thetford Game Reserve

Situated between the Nande and the Dikitira hills, only 30 kilometres from Harare, Thetford Game Reserve covers some 3,300 hectares of stunning and varied countryside, with spectacular views over Lake Mazowe. Thetford Game Reserve is home to around two dozen species and close to 900 individual resident animals. Since 2000 it has provided a valuable privately-funded conservation resource for Zimbabwe. Only recently opened to the public, it still holds to the ideals of its founders, which were to create a managed and safe environment for animal breeding. In keeping with those ideals, access to Thetford is strictly limited. So as to preserve a natural habitat for both our ‘residents’ and our visitors, we impose a strict maximum on the number of people in the Reserve at any one time.
