Mtarazi Falls National Park

Valid 25 January 2026 to 31 December 2026, per person per day, in US dollars.

• Mtarazi Falls is a national park in its own right but ZimParks runs it as the Mtarazi station of Nyanga National Park: the 2026 tariff has no separate Mtarazi conservation line and lists Mtarazi's chalet and campsite under Nyanga, and the booking portal files it as 'Nyanga Mtarazi'. The figures here are the Nyanga line. The one ticket covers Mtarazi and Pungwe Falls.
• The Mtarazi gate charges its own fee even if you paid at the Nyanga main gate earlier the same day. The Skywalk and Skyline zipline over the falls run separately from the public viewpoint walk and have their own fee, not part of the park fee.
• Two rates apply. Day visitors pay the higher one. Anyone sleeping inside the park in a ZimParks lodge, chalet or campsite pays the lower accommodated rate for every day of the stay. Staying at a lodge outside the boundary counts as a day visit each time you drive in.
• Vehicle entry fee per day, on top of the per person fee. Nyanga, and with it Mtarazi, is in the dearer vehicle table: a Zimbabwe-registered car, bakkie or 4x4 is US$5 as a day visitor and US$2 a day when staying in the park; foreign-registered US$10 and US$3. Trailers and caravans cost the same again; minibuses up to 25 seats US$15/US$5 local and US$30/US$10 foreign.
• ZimParks' own booking site gives children aged 6 to 12 half the adult conservation fee, which is the child figure shown. The tariff sheet itself has no child line. A Mana Pools booking agent's sheet has under 6s going free; I have not seen ZimParks say so in writing.
• The local rate is for Zimbabweans. The SADC rate is for passport holders from the other Southern African Development Community countries, South Africa included. Everyone else pays the international rate.
• ZimParks has a two-person chalet at Mtarazi for US$30 a night (local) or US$50 (international) and camping at US$10 or US$15 per person per night. The Nyanga lodges, if you would rather sleep further north, per unit per night, local then international. Rhodes Camp: two-bedroom lodge US$130/US$150, one-bedroom lodges 1A and 1B US$100/US$130, other one-bedroom US$70/US$90, executive lodges 3 and 7 US$155/US$170. Udu Camp: two-bedroom four beds US$95/US$110, two-bedroom six beds US$110/US$125. Mare Camp: renovated two-bedroom (Lakeview, Tiger, Rainbow, Riverview) US$130/US$150, unrenovated two-bedroom US$95/US$115, renovated one-bedroom (Brook and Brown) US$90/US$120. Camping or caravan at Mare is US$10 local and US$15 international per person per night. On public holidays the booking site caps you at two units in Nyanga.
• Everything ZimParks charges is in US dollars and the 2026 figures include VAT; the booking site says its rates include VAT and the tourism levy. Online it takes Visa, Mastercard and EcoCash; at the gate, US dollar cash and ZiG. Paying in US dollars stays lawful in Zimbabwe until 31 December 2030 under SI 218 of 2023, so visitors can ignore the ZiG.
• On the Nyanga line the 2026 rises fall on the SADC and international columns. Zimbabwe's standard VAT rate went from 15% to 15.5% on 1 January 2026 and tourism services lost their zero rating at the same time; the trade press tied the park fee rise to VAT now applying to park entry.
• The 2026 tariff carries no start or end date. The press reported it in force with immediate effect on 25 January 2026 and the PDF was created on 29 January 2026. I show it as valid to 31 December 2026 and will re-check when a new sheet appears; the sheet before it was the 2023 schedule.
