{"product_id":"chilo-gorge-safari-lodge-community-visit","title":"Community Visit","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"wetu-activities-description\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe intimate working relationship between the lodge and the local Shangaan community, makes a visit to Mahenye Village a uniquely rewarding cultural experience. This is the birthplace of the CAMPFIRE concept, which has since been replicated thousands of times around Africa. At it's core is the concept of \"Community Led Conservation\", and for his work setting up this initiative, and his ongoing commitment to conservation, Chilo Gorge Founder and Director, Clive Stockil, has won numerous international awards. It will be a colourful and informative visit, likely to include the Secondary School and local Clinic, and guests are encouraged to interact with the local villagers. This is a unique opportunity to spend time exploring an authentic village, and watch daily village life in one of Zimbabwe’s remotest corners. There is also a potential to visit the local palm forest, to meet the resident palm wine maker. Your guide will explain how palm wine is produced, together with providing different samples for tasting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Wetu","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43884935970875,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/6776\/2747\/files\/mahenye_primary_school_0793565d-9dbe-4d54-95ea-6253a9591489.jpg?v=1785477305","url":"https:\/\/plekify.com\/products\/chilo-gorge-safari-lodge-community-visit","provider":"Plekify","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
