Natural Feature in Zimbabwe

Spectacular hills in Matobo National Park are another UNESCO World Heritage Site in Zimbabwe. Among these peaks the most breathtaking is so called the World's View on the top of Malindidzimu Hill. This is a spiritual and sacred place to the Ndebele people. The grave of Cecil Rhodes is there as well, which fact brings is a bit of controversy. Giant granite sphere-like boulders are dominant to the place.
