Chilo Gorge Safari Lodge was founded with the sole purpose of providing opportunities through photographic tourism for the community of Mahenye following the creation of Gonarezhou National Park in 1975. The founder, Clive Stockil, is to this day involved in community work and partnerships in this area and other areas of the Save Valley and Zimbabwean Lowveld.

Our team will welcome you into the Chilo family from the minute you arrive. We have created a safari experience that allows you to deeply immerse yourself in the wilderness that is Gonarezhou National Park. Our experienced guides create a safari stay filled with knowledgeable, safe & adventurous activities, guaranteeing a true wilderness experience. But Chilo is also a place to sit back and watch the day go by in the wilderness; enjoy sundowners on the beach, watch elephants cross rivers and white sandy shores and feel the mystery of the Chilojo Cliffs.
