Ngezi Recreational Park is located 151km from Harare off the Bulawayo to Harare highway and is 58 square kilometers in size of which 10% is occupied by the lake which was constructed in 1945 to supply water to the thermal power station at Munyati. The Ngezi River squeezes through the Great Dyke in a narrow gorge and forms a good natural site for a dam. To the west the wooded rolling hills of the Great Dyke crowd the horizon, along the lake are marshes and rolling plains of Highveld msasa.
