Lake Chivero Recreational Park was formerly known as Robert McIlwaine Recreational Park. It was founded in 1952 and it is centered on Lake Chivero (formerly called Lake McIlwaine), which is a large reservoir in the Manyame River. There are several nice beaches and boats can be hired. During weekends and holidays it gets very busy with people from Harare.
Large parts of the lake's southern shore lie inside a 1,600 hectare game park. There are several places inside the park where rock paintings can be seen. The best ones are at Bushman's Point, Crocodile Rock, Pax Park and Ovoid Rock. You will need a guide to visit some of the sites.
There are several hotels and lodges in the area.
