Abstract

Lake McIlwaine is one of the most popular recreational venues in Zimbabwe (Child, 1977). The close proximity of the Robert McIlwaine National Recreational Park to the City of Salisbury makes the lake an ideal site for day visitors from the capital as well as for tourists and other visitors contemplating a more extended stay. A wide variety of interests are catered for within the Park, although most of these are aquatically oriented, and a choice of Governmentrun and commercially-operated facilities is to be had. A number of clubs and non-profit-making organisations also have facilities within the National Park to serve their members. It can easily be said that Lake McIlwaine and the Robert McIlwaine Recreational Park have something for everyone.
