As well as a mutually beneficial trade relationship; Chishakwe and the nearby village communities also jointly run a cultural tourism venture as well as a craft project.

The villages, set in beautiful, unspoilt woodland, are attractive examples of traditional Zimbabwean rural villages. The absence of wild animals in the immediate area means it can safely be visited by biycle, horseback or on foot. The villagers welcome visitors for an overnight excursion or a meal.
