Chilo Gorge Safari Lodge

We know why you’re here in Gonarezhou; that’s why, when we built Chilo Gorge Safari Lodge, we brought the outside in. Each lodge is light and spacious, simple and elegant, yet with all the comforts of home. We used a handsome palette of natural materials, to provide you with a haven from the heat of the day, a place to rest and recoup, and to prepare for your next big adventure. For when you’re looking to spend time with other guests, the main lodge has everything you need; a shaded swimming pool, a sumptuous lounge, a library, a bar and dining room, all surrounded by beautifully tended gardens. Even here, at the heart of Chilo, the great African wilderness is never far away. You can watch our local elephants, hippos and crocodiles cooling off in the waters of the river from the viewing deck.

All-inclusive luxury rooms sleep two, and come with a spacious en-suite bathroom complete with complimentary toiletries. A private balcony and seating area commands superior views, offering a serene space to unwind after a lively day. Other amenities include a mini bar, tea and coffee facilities, and a safe. One option for families is the two luxury rooms with an extended interconnecting balcony, which provides easy private access between the rooms for all the family.

For those who like to be more independent, our self-catering camp, Nhambo, offers practicality as well as comfort and spectacular views. Each lodge sleeps two and boasts its own en-suite bathroom and private balcony. There is a shared kitchen, a dining area, and a braai area, as well as a plunge pool. Our family lodge at Nhambo sleeps up to six and is roomy and private with its own kitchen, garden and two bathrooms.
