Visitors Guide
Take the Robins Camp/ Pandamatenga turn-off from the main Bulawayo-Victoria Falls Road and proceed for 25 kilometres along this gravel road to the Parks & Wildlife offices in Matetsi where visitors are required to check-in. The journey continues along the Pandamatenga road for a further 39 kilometres to the border post. These roads are gravel and an off-road car is ideal. As access to Kazuma is along the Zimbabwe/ Botswana border road, visitors are again asked to check-in with the Zimbabwe Republic Police at Pandamatenga. Kazuma Pan National Park is some 25 kilometres further along, north-west of Pandamatenga. Access via Kazungula is strictly prohibited. [1]
Background
The park was proclaimed a national park in 1949. Kazuma National Park was not adequately developed and in 1964 it was temporarily closed down only to be reopened in 1975. [2] Kazuma Pan National Park is closed to the public in January and February each year due to the wet conditions over this period that make the roads impassable.
