Often referred to as “one
of southern Africa’s best kept secrets’,
Singita’s Pamushana Lodge – after
months of extensive refurbishment –
is re-opening its doors to visitors in June
2008.
Singita’s embracingly bold Pamushana
Lodge is located within the private 130 000-acre
Malilangwe Wildlife Reserve - a remote wilderness
teeming with an astonishing variety of birds,
an abundance of wildlife; most notable rare
and endangered species and the area is home
to hundreds of majestic Baobab trees. |

Easily
accessible from the Buffalo Range international
airport, a few minutes drive from the lodge, where
guests arrive and depart by charter plane, Malilangwe
Wildlife Reserve is so close in proximity to South
Africa, that Singita offers a circuit trip for guests
to explore the uniqueness of each lodge, beginning
in the Singita Kruger National Park, followed by
Singita Sabi Sand and culminating at Singita Pamushana
Lodge.
As with all nine of Singita’s safari lodges,
Pamushana Lodge has won international awards for
excellence, offering unparalleled exclusivity and
luxury in Africa’s most pristine wilderness
locations. Bearing the prestigious Relais &
Châteaux stamp of approval, this intimate
haven comprises only six double suites with one
large villa.
The lodge offers indoor and open-air dining rooms,
three lounges, an impressively stocked wine cellar,
a world-class spa and two heated swimming pools
and jaccuzi overlooking the Malilangwe Lake and
sandstone hills. Guests are able to take part in
tiger fishing and canoe trips, tennis and early
morning and evening game drives or walking safaris.
Singita Pamushana Lodge is actively involved in
wildlife conservation and the upliftment of local
communities through various development initiatives,
spear-headed by the Malilangwe Trust. Guests' contributions
and any profits from commercial tourism operations
are directly ploughed back into these initiatives,
creating a better life for all.
“We are particularly excited about Pamushana
Lodge re-opening, not least of all as the Malilangwe
Trust which currently feeds 25 000 school children
daily and our continued presence and financial support
generated through tourism are vital elements in
assisting these needy
youngsters. This is a poor area of Zimbabwe, with
little rainfall so the local inhabitants rely on
this balanced meal for survival” points out
Singita’s COO, Mark Witney.
“In addition, The Malilangwe Trust is highly
acclaimed for its ecological research, breeding
and protection of endangered species and some ten
years ago, at great expense, the Trust co-funded
the reintroduction of the black rhino to the area.
This location is now home to one of the highest
concentrations of the species on the continent.
With support from tourism this incredible wildlife
area can be preserved for future generations.”
continues Witney. |
