Matobo, south of Bulawayo in southern Zimbabwe, is known for its unique granite landscape, which has been described as "one of the world's oldest geological landscapes". The area is dotted with thousands of boulder rock piles and domed hills, formed by wind erosion over two billion years, in different forms, like a natural stone art gallery. A UNESCO World Heritage Site (inscribed in 2003), Matobo also has the richest collection of prehistoric rock paintings in Africa, some dating back 20,000 years, documenting the lives and beliefs of early hunter-gatherers. It is also the resting place of the historic Cecil Rhodes, whose grave is located at the top of the "View of the World" hill, which commands a magnificent panoramic view. Matobo is not only a geological and natural masterpiece, but also an important witness to human civilization.
