Chishakwe runs an established Community Outreach Project. We aim to strengthen the local micro economy by offering job opportunities, encourage cultural tourism endeavours and develop craft marketing opportunities.

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.

The education outreach project which we have been running for the last five years is now expanding to include more age groups and the building of an eco center in the village areas. Through this project we work hand in hand with local schools in order to create educational opportunities and foster a culture of conservation in the area.

“ Now, more than ever, the future of large scale conservation lies in ensuring that local populations not only understand the magnitude of, but invest into, the long term objective of preserving habitat and animals for posterity”.

Chishakwe provides up to twelve children who could not otherwise attend school with full scholarships. Some of our previous guests contribute scholarship funds in a similar manner. For more information please contact us on management@chishakwe.com
