Visit World’s View in Matobo Hills, Cecil Rhodes’ burial site and one of Zimbabwe’s most dramatic viewpoints overlooking endless granite kopjes and wilderness.
World’s View in Matobo Hills is one of Zimbabwe’s most visited viewpoints, famous as the burial site of Cecil John Rhodes. From this dramatic granite kopje, the view extends over an endless sea of balancing rocks and domes - a landscape unchanged for millions of years.
Rhodes was a controversial figure - a colonizer responsible for dispossession and oppression. His burial here is part of Zimbabwe’s complex colonial history. The site is historically significant but does not require celebration.
World’s View represents where the colonial past meets ancient landscape - Rhodes chose this spot to rest for eternity amid formations that were ancient before humans existed. The view is timeless, even if the history is complicated.
