Car
If you're driving from the town of Mutare, head east on the A5 highway towards the town of Chipinge. After approximately 90 kilometers, look for the turn-off onto the R5 road towards Save Valley Conservancy. Continue on this road for about 30 kilometers until you see signs for Chishakwe Ranch. Follow the signs until you reach Chishakwe Safaris, located within the Save Valley Conservancy. Be prepared for some unpaved roads as you get closer.
Public Transport
From Mutare, you can catch a shared taxi (commonly known as a 'combi') to Chipinge. The journey takes about 1.5 hours. Once in Chipinge, look for a local transport service that goes to the Save Valley Conservancy. Please note that these services may not run frequently, so confirm the schedule in advance. After arriving at the conservancy entrance, you may need to arrange a taxi or a private transport service to take you to Chishakwe Ranch, which is about 30 kilometers further in. Make sure to negotiate the fare beforehand.
Private Shuttle
For a more comfortable journey, you can book a private shuttle service from Mutare to Chishakwe Safaris. This can be arranged through local tour operators or directly with Chishakwe Safaris if they offer such services. The ride will take approximately 2.5 to 3 hours, and you can enjoy the beautiful scenery without the hassle of navigating public transport. Expect to pay around $50-$100 depending on the service and number of passengers.
