Haka Game Park Urban Nature Sanctuary for Wildlife
Haka Game Park (also known as Haka Camp Game Park) is a 2,500-hectare urban nature sanctuary located near Cleveland Dam in Masasa, approximately 12.5 kilometres east of Harare’s Central Business District (CBD), Zimbabwe. Named after the Shona word for pangolin (haka), the park was originally established over 20 years ago to protect this endangered species. Today, it is celebrated as a protected Ramsar Wetland of International Importance, boasting a peaceful blend of rolling savannah, miombo woodlands, and historical San rock art sites.
