Perched high on a sandstone ridge, with breathtaking views over the shimmering waters of Malilangwe Dam, Singita Pamushana Lodge feels like Zimbabwe’s best-kept secret – one that invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and truly connect with nature.

Each of the lodge’s eight beautifully designed suites, available in 1 to 3 bedroom configurations, offers absolute privacy, complete with its own plunge pool and panoramic views. The five-bedroom Malilangwe House features its own kitchen, private chef and butler, spacious living and dining room, and an infinity pool. Drawing inspiration from the rich tribal heritage of ancient Zimbabwe, the spaces are soulful yet sophisticated, thoughtfully crafted to feel both grounded and deeply luxurious.

Life here unfolds gently, in tune with the wild. Whether you’re sipping sundowners on a cliff-top deck, setting off on an early morning game drive, or lingering over dinner beneath a canopy of stars, every detail is designed to offer comfort, ease, and a true sense of freedom.
The main lodge is made up of staggered decks and open-air lounges. It blends effortlessly into its surroundings, offering ever-changing views and quiet corners to unwind. And when the fire pit is lit and the stories start to flow, there’s nowhere else you’d rather be.

Days at Pamushana are shaped by nature’s rhythm. Twice-daily game drives, one at dawn and another in the golden light of evening, offer the chance to explore this remarkable reserve in the company of expert guides and trackers. Along the way, you’ll gain insight into the region’s rich biodiversity, ecology, and history. The reserve is home to an extraordinary array of wildlife, so sightings of elephants, rhinos, lions, leopards, buffalo, hyenas, hippos, cheetahs, and countless birds are not just possible; they’re expected.

The dam below the lodge offers a tranquil way to experience the wilderness, whether you’re casting a line for Tiger Fish, Bass, Bream, or Catfish, or learning traditional fishing techniques from expert guides. As the day winds down, a sunset cruise with a chilled sundowner in hand is the perfect way to watch wildlife gather at the water’s edge and take in the beauty of the bush bathed in golden light.

Singita and the Malilangwe Trust play a vital role in conserving Zimbabwe’s Malilangwe Wildlife Reserve – 115,000 acres of rich biodiversity. Their successful rhino reintroduction has created a key population for restocking efforts across Africa, while rare species like sable and roan antelope thrive under their care. Beyond conservation, the Trust supports local communities through environmental education and a nutrition programme that provides 20,000 schoolchildren with a daily meal.
From exploring ancient rock art sites and cruising the dam at sunset to tracking wildlife on foot or by vehicle, Pamushana offers a safari experience that’s intimate, immersive, and entirely unforgettable.
