THE CHINHARA LEGACY
Welcome To The
House Of Chinhara
Our story began with a dream to create something truly remarkable in Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe – the 'Home of Majesty.' This vision was not just about building a hospitality brand; it was about showcasing the rich tapestry of our history and culture, drawing inspiration from ancient trade routes, UNESCO World Heritage sites, and the majestic Victoria Falls itself.
From our modest origins as a fuel distribution venture in 2004, Glow Petroleum has grown into a leading indigenous distributor of fuel and lubricants in our nation. Our success has been shaped by a relentless pursuit of excellence, a commitment to learning and adapting, and a deep-rooted belief in our vision.
Moreover, as the House of Chinhara evolves, it is also emerging as a highly valued mining enterprise and an ever-expanding fuel conglomerate. This diversification underscores our commitment to sustainable growth, innovation, and contributing positively to the economies and communities where we operate.
As we expand into the realm of hospitality, our legacy of resilience and innovation continues to drive us forward. We are not just creating spaces; we are crafting experiences that reflect the essence of our heritage and the spirit of our people. Every element of the House of Chinhara is imbued with a sense of purpose – from upholding the highest safety standards to minimizing our environmental footprint and making meaningful contributions to the communities we serve.
Join us on this journey of discovery, celebration, and transformation as we honor our past, embrace the present, and shape the future at the House of Chinhara.
