World's View - Grave of Cecil John Rhodes
Known to the Ndebele as Malindidzimu, or 'place of spirits' the resting-place of Cecil Rhodes is a great granite whaleback outcrop with a collection of massive rounded granite boulders on top of it. The immensity of the environment and the 360 degrees viewpoint it offers truly matches Cecil Rhodes' megalomania and the name World's View he gave to it. In his last will Rhodes directed that this place should be reserved for those who had done special service to Rhodesia and the British Empire.
