Experience

The gentle waves of Lake Malilangwe are home to hippos, crocodiles, terrapins and monitor lizards, as well as a variety of fish and water birds. During the summer months, elephant breeding herds regularly swim at the top end of the lake and guests at Singita Pamushana Lodge enjoy the open water during regular sunset cruises. Another activity that provides hours of entertainment for visitors to this beautiful little corner of Zimbabwe, is a fun afternoon of fishing.

Anyone who has been on safari knows the indescribable connection with nature that being in the African bush can give you. Proximity with the animals, exposure to the elements and the awakening of all your senses make for a thrilling adventure unlike any other. This unique experience is even more special if it includes a night spent under a canopy of stars.

An important part of the Singita experience is finding connection; with nature, with people, with yourself. The natural beauty that surrounds each lodge and its warm, accommodating staff make the first two easy, and the third could be as simple as spending a few hours at the Singita spa.

What could be more romantic than watching the sun set over the Serengeti with your new spouse, a chilled glass of wine in hand and a herd of zebra grazing in the distance? Honeymoons at Singita Grumeti are filled with unforgettable moments like this one, and plenty of other extraordinary experiences.

Traveling to a new destination often sparks an interest in how to capture your memories best. The challenge begins before you even arrive at the lodge, as you will most likely spot birds and wildlife as you drive through the bush – don’t be surprised to see a few members of the Big 5 either! To ensure that you don’t miss any opportunities for the perfect shot, our field guides have compiled their five best tips to help you capture those magical moments:

There is something universally amusing about the antics of young elephant calves; their short, stocky bodies, unwieldy trunks and ears, stubby tusks and the shock of hair that sprouts on their heads combine to produce a very comical creature.

One of the first things that visitors see when they come in to land at Singita Sabi Sand is the thatched boma that serves as a rustic, safari-style airport terminal. Alongside this small building, guests will usually find the welcoming committee of their field guide and tracker, a table of refreshments and the waiting game viewing vehicle. Visitors arriving at the concession last week were in for an extra treat however; one of the resident leopards was snoozing in the boma!

Singita, which operates 12 luxury lodges and camps in Tanzania, South Africa and Zimbabwe, is recognised by those in the know as one of Africa’s most influential wine collectors. Unique in the luxury safari market, Singita has chosen to heavily invest in developing the best guest-focused wine culture at its safari lodges; to add to the experience for all who visit.

Singita’s three tented safari experiences in Tanzania, Singita Sabora Tented Camp, Singita Explore and Singita Mara River Tented Camp, offer visitors to the Serengeti an intimate and authentic safari adventure that allows them to rough it in great style.

Who says shopping on safari has to be limited to a tiny curio shop selling knick-knacks like post cards and key rings? At Singita, the shopping experience continues to stay on the cutting edge of luxury, boasting well-made items with distinctive character. Stylish resort-wear and safari apparel, art, décor, designer jewellery, decadent spa products (and even the basic necessities), make the Singita Boutique & Gallery a sought-after retail destination.
