Chilo Gorge, Gonarezhou National Park, Zimbabwe

Chilo Gorge Safari Lodge

Safari and Wildlife Lodge
Gonarezhou National Park, Zimbabwe

Chilo Gorge has breath-taking views over Gonarezhou National Park and provides an elegant and tranquil environment with access to one of the few remaining wilderness spots in Africa.

Each chalet is has a private balcony from which to soak in the view and has easy access to the central dining area, bar and swimming pool. Activities at Chilo Gorge are varied and include game drives and walks, as well as highly recommended full-day trips or a three-night sleep out adventure to visit the Chilojo Cliffs.

The game-rich, bird lovers’ paradise, the Tembwehata Water Pan and Chivilila Falls make from some dramatic photography.

Why We Like Chilo Gorge

Chilo Gorge is more than just a lodge; it is a testament to the success of conservation in Gonarezhou, against all odds. Founder Clive Stockil still guides from the lodge, which is run in partnership with the local Shangaan community. Such is the success of his community-focused Project CAMPFIRE approach to conservation that Clive received the Prince William Award for Conservation in Africa, in 2013.
