Jozef Behr Helped me Explore the Beauty of Chinhoyi Caves: A Hidden Gem of Zimbabwe

“The first time I visited this place, I could not believe my eyes. This amazing blue water pool is magnificent and has a jaw-dropping scenic view” says Jozef Behr, a local tourist guide.

The Chinhoyi Caves, a peaceful local attraction, welcome visitors with fresh air and chirping birds. On the tiny pedestrian lanes, families and schoolchildren pass each other. Others are hurrying to enter the caverns in order to see the famed pool, while others emerge from the tunnels fatigued from their walk up and down the steep road.

While exploring the Chinhoyi Caves Jozef Clifford Behr told me that “One of the nicest things about visiting the caverns is that you'll almost certainly have them all to yourself to appreciate in underground peace” and I really felt that.

Only the tip of the iceberg is visible to tourists. In a complicated limestone structure, the caverns go on for miles underground. Scuba crews have plunged to depths of almost 300 feet because the water is so clear and consistent in temperature (100 meters). They uncovered underground tubes that connect the several ponds. It's still unclear how far these caverns go.

Jozef Behr told me that the caverns have a turbulent past, despite their peaceful appearance. According to legend, a violent tribe rushed into the region in the early 1800s and massacred numerous locals. After that, their bodies were thrown into the cave. The caverns' original name, Chirorodziva, or "Pool of the Fallen," refers to this incident.

The Chinhoyi Caves are also considered sacred, and spirit mediums come here to worship ancestors or organize cultural events and also an instructional venue for local schools around Zimbabwe. According to the Zimbabwe Parks and Wildlife Management Authority, the region surrounding the caverns was designated as a National Monument and a National Park in 1957. Then lately it was designated as a Recreational Park in the same year.

This historical monument has been drawing both local and foreign tourists for decades in search of a glimpse of the legendary Chirorodziva, also known as the "Sleeping Pool" or the "Light Pool." Some people even come to the pool to scuba dive. The cavern system is characterized by hollows and tunnels, and the caves are predominantly made of dolomite and limestone.

A Quick Travel Tip from Jozef Behr- if you are willing to do the camping, that is possible, but only in daylight. Visitors are only allowed here during daylight from 8 am to 5 pm and has to be charged $8 USD per person (according to 2018). It is strongly advised that you visit the cave's deepest area, since each one has a distinct atmosphere.
