A magical and luxurious safari experience with game walks, boat safaris and even your own private plunge pool.
Singita Pamushana is located in Malilangwe Wildlife Reserve, on the borders of Gonarezhou National Park in South Eastern Zimbabwe. Home to the Big Five, including both species of African Rhino, the reserve is also inhabited by wild dogs, crocodiles, giraffes and many more. Singita’s aim is to conserve the wildlife and the environment while providing guests with a magical safari experience at the Lodge. Singita Pamushana is accessed by light aircraft and then a short road transfer.
Accommodation consists of eight suites and one villa. The suites have between 1-4 bedrooms and include two family suites, one of which can accommodate up to two adults and four children. The villa comprises one master bedroom and four smaller bedrooms, and guests at the villa receive a private vehicle as well as their own guide, a host and a chef. Each room has its own private plunge pool apart from the villa, which has its own infinity pool. The interior design used in the lodge reflects the area’s tribal history. Main areas include a lounge, a dining area and a swimming pool, as well as a fitness centre and spa.
Activities include game drives and bush walks, which are a fantastic way to see Malilangwe’s beautiful wildlife and learn more about them and their habitat. Alternatively, you can embark on a boat cruise on Malilangwe Dam and admire one of Africa’s famous sunsets. If you want to do some cultural activities, the lodge offers trips to visit local Shaangan community where you can discover more about their way of life, or you can visit an ancient rock art site. Singita Pamushana tailor makes activities to suit the needs of each guest, and also offers a babysitting service.

January
January is an excellent time to head out with expert guides and view resident and migratory bird species. The days are warm, with the risk of rain, this clears very fast as it arrives.
February
February is the best time for birders. The days are warm, with the risk of afternoon rain showers, but they clear as fast as they arrive.
March
If you want to witness Vic Falls at its fullest, March is the month to visit, with huge volumes of spray, it is perfect if you want to see the gorges and geology of the area.
April
The world famous Mana Pools re-open in April. The days feel fresher as the wet season ends leaving the landscapes looking lush green, making it perfect for walking safaris.
May
In May, the days continue to feel fresh and bright making it a perfect time to venture out on walking safaris.
June
June heralds the return of winter, nights turn colder and the temperature dips - take plenty of layers as the temperature can drop below freezing. It is the perfect time for photographers to explore Hwange National Park before the busy holiday period.
July
Winter temperatures continue into July so take plenty of layers. Much like June, it is perfect for photographers looking to view wildlife from a different angle.
August
If you want clear, bright blue skies and continuous wildlife sightings, August is the month for you. Camps are likely to be fuller, however, if you visit private concessions you can still experience exclusivity and no crowds.
September
Much like August, September is an amazing time for wildlife spotting and weather, in particular it is considered the best time of year to see elephant herds in Hwange National Park.
October
In October wildlife sightings are at their peak as the dry season ends. If you travel during this month you can experience hot days with temperatures soaring up to 40 degrees.
November
November is the best time to head out with expert guides and view resident and migratory bird species. The days are warm, with the risk of rain, this clears very fast as it arrives. It is low season and one of the best times to go white water rafting at Vic Falls, the volume and speed of the water is reduced exposing the rapids.
December
In December the days are warm with the risk of rain showers mid afternoon. The rivers rise and dependant on water levels travellers can visit 'devils pool' at Vic Falls, providing high excitement and a head for heights needed if you want to get close to the drop off.
