Events venues
Chilo Gorge Safari Lodge offers a breathtaking backdrop for any kind of gathering, personal or professional. From ceremonies on riverside beaches to the fully equipped conference room, Chilo Safari Lodge offers a tranquil yet fully connected venue.
Palm Wine Tapping
Unique to the region is an educational visit to one of the local communities to learn all about the tradition of wine tapping from the Ilala palm. Laced in Mahenye tradition, this traditional form of wine tapping involves digging into the bulb of the palm and collecting the dripping sap in a clay pot, where it is left to ferment and naturally develop into palm wine.
