Sunungukai Community Game Park and Lodging

Sunungukai was established in 1993 under the CAMPFIRE scheme. A community managed wilderness / wildlife area. More recently it has been leased by Iain Jarvis, an environmentalist who has invested and upgraded, and raised the public profile. It is on the east bank of the Mazowe River, at Nyagande, and is 120 km north east of Harare.

The road is now gravel for 6 km to Nyagande. Signs indicate a gate on the right, and 700 m beyond that is Sunungukai.
