The Chilo safari experience combines spacious luxury in one of Southern Africa’s last truly remote wilderness areas with the unmatched Zimbabwean guiding knowledge, care, warmth and hospitality. This safari lodge is spacious with vast views offering you a haven from the heat of the day, a place to rest and recoup, and to prepare for your next Gonarezhou safari adventure. You will feel like home when the Chilo family welcomes you and the expansive viewing deck will be your place to go to watch elephants, hippos and crocodiles cooling off in the waters of the river amongst abundant vegetation.

The main lodge is surrounded by beautifully tended indigenous gardens cared for by Enock, Head Gardener. Relax in the shaded swimming pool or sit on one of the wooden benches dotted around the garden marveling at the majestic view of the Save River.
