Singita Pamushana Lodge | World's best private house safaris
"Singita Pamushana is by far the most luxurious bush lodge in Zimbabwe. Atop of a rocky sandstone ridge, overlooking miles of wilderness, with gardens behind that attract stunning birds, it’s a little Eden. The views make your heart sing, particularly of the setting sun over a vast African panorama and the Malilangwe Dam. Within the 130,000 acres are just two camps, so it feels really wild, its kopjes and grasslands teeming with game. Lions are wild, elephant herds huge, rhinos are in their natural environment – it feels raw, and very beautiful. You’ll see both white and black rhino, as well as rare Roan antelope and Lichtenstein’s hartebeest, due to the extensive conservation and regeneration efforts of The Malilangwe Trust over many years. Few people visit this area, so you’ll have most of this vast, untouched wilderness to yourself. The Lodge’s eight elegant suites – all with private plunge pools – draw inspiration from the rich tribal history of ancient Zimbabwe. It’s a soothing and inspiring safari – with comfort, intuitive ease and a complete sense of freedom. There is also a five-bedroom exclusive-use villa (Malilangwe House), perfect for groups of different ages. As well as having treats such as a big games room, a pool with incredible views, and distinctly Zimbabwean-inspired interiors; the organic-shaped buildings of Singita Pamushana Lodge are reminiscent of Great Zimbabwe. Detailed stonework lay the foundation for bold interiors. The camp has enthusiastic staff – and world-class guides. " - Lisa Grainger
