The 8 651 acres Manjirenji Recreational Park, centred on Manjirenji Dam, is 40.4 miles north of Chiredzi. Although undeveloped for tourism, the park is an attractive area set in hilly country and offers recreational facilities such as boating to residents of Masvingo and the lowveld. Most of the soils are derived from the gneisses of the region and support areas of Brachystegia woodland.

There are no large mammal species in the park but it has some good populations of waterfowl. It was declared a Recreational Park under the Parks and Wild Life Act (1975).
