Located across the river from Gonarezhou National Park, Chilo Gorge Safari Lodge offers its guests a game-viewing experience not to be duplicated in Zimbabwe in comfortable accommodations in which to recount the day's adventures.

Take advantage of a drink at sunset around the fire pit and the spectacular view of the year-round river trench, which attracts elephants, crocodiles, hippos, and other wildlife.

Simple yet elegant, the luxury king and twin lodge accommodations offer private balcony, ensuite bathroom with spacious shower, mini-bar, hand-crafted headboards, and high-count cotton bedding. The main lodge is made of stone, thatch and wood and blends into the natural surroundings. Outdoor deck areas offer a spacious viewing area to the Save River and across into Gonarezhou National Park.

For those desiring to venture out into Gonarezhou National Park for an overnight outing, spend a night or two at the more rustic Mahove Tent Camp or Nhambo self-catered lodge.

Adventure Life made my trip the best vacation I’ve ever taken. Kassandra and Cheska were amazing! They were very friendly and knowledgeable about my African vacation. They helped me find the right location and accommodations to make the trip memorable. They learned about my likes and disliking to ensure my needs were met and were able to answer all of my questions. I will definitely be using adventure life for my future travels.

I gave Jason a brief overview of what kind of travelers we are and what we were hoping to see on safari to Southern Africa and the itinerary he presented seems to nail it! We appreciated his knowledge of Africa and traveling there and he answered all of our questions. We look forward to this adventure!
