History of the Park

Umfurudzi Park and the surrounding area have a recorded history dating back to the bushman and early stone ages, evident by the rock paintings and other archeological sites found throughout the park. In more recent history the park was settled by early Mashona and then by Portuguese traders and later by colonial mining prospectors.
Post 1950, the area was designated state land for wildlife habitation under the colonial government of the day and was managed by the Manicaland Hunters Association. The Parks and Wildlife Act of 1975 officially designated Umfurudzi Safari Area, and placed the land under the control of the Department of National Parks and Wildlife Management.
In the early 1980’s, black rhino were in abundance within the Park. As pressure mounted on the rhino due to poaching the ZPWMA captured and trans located 44 Black Rhino from Umfurudzi to other Parks.
