Chilo Gorge Safari Lodge

Chilo Gorge Safari Lodge Set high above the Save River in south-eastern Zimbabwe is Chilo Gorge Safari Lodge.

Stylish comfort in a wild and remote part of Africa, Chilo Gorge Safari Lodge commands spectacular views of the Save River and Gonarezhou National Park, Zimbabwe. Enjoying a magnificent location overlooking Gonarezhou National Park, Zimbabwe’s second largest National Park, the lodge has undergone a stunning and extensive refurbishment. Offering 10 luxury all-inclusive lodges, a self-catering camp

and a wide range of activities, Chilo ensures guests can truly feel part of untamed Africa. Activities include game drives to the iconic Chilojo Cliffs, guided walks from the lodge to a viewpoint looking out over the roaring Chivilila Falls, and cultural visits to Mahenye Village where guests can experience the local Shangaan way of life. The Chilo Gorge Guides are experienced, friendly and professional, offering expert local knowledge. They include Clive Stockil, the founding father of the CAMPFIRE project, whose passion for the African bush and conservation has been recognised with numerous local and international awards. Most recently he was honoured with the inaugural Prince William Award for Conservation in Africa in recognition of a lifetime spent dedicated to wildlife conservation. At Chilo Gorge we are committed to maintaining the beauty of the pristine wilderness, the integrity of its native wildlife and to create an unrivalled safari experience for our guests. Gonarezhou is blessed with authentic wilderness and guests rarely see another vehicle in the park, but instead get to enjoy the abundant and diverse wildlife, birdlife and flora in their natural environment.

Busy season in Gonaz is in full swing, and our team has a few updates from the ground.

Thanks to the excellent rains this season, the wildlife is looking healthy and in great condition. Water levels remain high, so please take care at causeways and river crossings. For now, we recommend travelling in a 4x4 only.

The landscape dries out surprisingly quickly in this part of the world, which means game viewing conditions will continue to get better and better over the coming weeks.

If you're planning a visit to Gonarezhou, get in touch with our team at [email protected] or WhatsApp +263 77 499 9059.

There are two pans close to Chilo (Tembwahata and Machaniwa), making the lodge a perfect base for exploring areas where wildlife and bird species congregate.

The most incredible sight this evening from the bar deck at Chilo. Our general manager, Dave, captured a mega herd of buffalo coming down to drink. We really are so lucky to see game like this right on our doorstep. 🐃.
