EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: A Glimpse into the Past: The Majestic Matoppos of Zimbabwe (Rhodesia) in the Late 1890s 2. Description: Step back in time with this black and white lantern slide of the breathtaking Matoppos, also known as Matobo or Matopos National Park, located in present-day Zimbabwe. This image, taken in the late 1890s during the British South Africa Company's rule (Rhodesia), offers a unique perspective into the history and natural beauty of this World Heritage Site. The Matoppos National Park, situated less than 75km south of Bulawayo, was easily accessible via a good tarred road during that era. The area, renowned for its balancing granite rocks, has been a source of fascination for travelers and explorers for generations. As you gaze upon this image, imagine the vast, open landscape stretching before you, dotted with the iconic granite boulders that have come to define this unique destination. The serene atmosphere and untouched wilderness of the Matoppos would have offered a stark contrast to the bustling colonial towns and settlements of the time. This photograph serves as a testament to the rich history and natural wonders that can be found in Zimbabwe. The Matoppos National Park remains a must-visit destination for those seeking to explore the past and connect with the natural beauty of Africa. 3.
