Chilo Gorge Safari Lodge
Chilo Gorge Safari Lodge is located on the edge of Gonarezhou National Park, a vast area of pristine wilderness in south east Zimbabwe.
Chilo Gorge Safari Lodge is situated on a high cliff top above the Save River on the northern edge of Gonarezhou National Park, and commands wonderful views down the valley. The lodge offers a lovely base from which to explore the core wilderness area of the park, along the Save and Runde Rivers, an area which offers both prime wildlife viewing and stunning scenery. The lodge has also been closely involved in the regeneration and conservation of the Gonarezhou area, and has long-standing connections with the local community outside the park. The lodge offers comfortable accommodation and a relaxed atmosphere, and makes a great starting point for a safari in Gonarezhou.
