In Africa, game reserves have been shifting away from protectorate conservation towards integration of community participation to ensure sustainable development. Thus, this study sought to investigate the challenges faced in managing wildlife resources in the Matusadonha game park. The study used a qualitative research methodology. A semi-structuredinterview survey was conducted in Nyamhunga, Mahombekombe, Siakobvu and Mola-Kasvisva. The study results showed that all the 100 participants identified illegal killing of animal as a major challenge to the park authorities. Amongst the solutions suggested to a low effective wildlife management were, technical systems and relocation of communities was lowly ranked, with participants favoring community integration and employment creation. The major benefit of game reserve activities was maintenance of roads. Other development needs were not supported such as schools, health facilities and construction of bridges. In conclusion, the communities in the around Matusadonha game reserves realise limited benefits from the game reserve and in part this has created challenges in the sustainable management of wildlife.
