Uncharted Africa: A Luxurious Safari Adventure Through Zimbabwe and South Africa

Rest from your journey at the luxury Intercontinental Hotel right at the airport.

Your journey begins at Malilangwe Wildlife Reserve, a pristine, lesser-known treasure in Zimbabwe, where you'll stay at Singita Pamushana Lodge. Set on the remote wilderness of an ancient sandstone ridge, Pamushana offers panoramic views of the dam below and the lush forests surrounding it.

Enjoy daily encounters with diverse wildlife including the Big Five (lion, leopard, rhinoceros, elephant, and Cape buffalo), cheetahs, wild dogs, giraffes, zebras and numerous bird species.

Spend an afternoon fishing in the serene Malilangwe Dam, listening to the hippos call. You can also explore rock art sites, a testament to ancient civilizations that once thrived here.

Unwind with a soothing spa treatment amidst the African wilderness.

Enrich your stay with an introduction to the local Shangaan culture and the reserve's community outreach programs.

Your culinary experiences at Pamushana are deeply rooted in Africa's rich heritage. With ingredients sourced from the surrounding communities, the dishes are a modern interpretation of traditional African cooking techniques. From candlelit dinners under the African sky to picnics in the bush, each meal is a unique experience in itself.

Board a flight to South Africa's iconic Kruger National Park. Spend three nights at the Singita Lebombo Lodge. Perched on the steep banks of the N'wanetsi River, Lebombo's cutting-edge design offers unobstructed views of the wilderness beyond. With the Kruger known for its high density of wild animals, including the iconic Big Five, your game drives here are sure to be thrilling. The area is also known for its sizable population of cheetah and packs of wild dogs, an increasingly rare species to encounter. After your morning and evening game drives, join a cooking class at the Singita Community Culinary School, unwind with spa treatments, or take a dip in the luxurious infinity pool.

Fly to the private Sabi Sand Game Reserve, known for its exceptional leopard sightings. Your time here will be filled with thrilling dawn and dusk game drives, where you might spot not just the elusive leopards, but also lions, elephants, rhinos, buffalos, and a stunning variety of birdlife. Sabi Sand's experienced trackers and guides, with their deep knowledge of the African bush, will ensure you get the most out of each game drive.

Your first two nights in Sabi Sand is at Singita Boulders Lodge, an oasis that takes its inspiration from the geology of the landscape. The lodge's design is a testament to the tranquility of the wilderness, offering an intimate connection with nature. Your next two nights are at Singita Ebony Lodge, where the focus is on a colonial safari experience in the heart of the African bush. The lodge, located on the banks of the Sand River, seamlessly combines the romance of tented camps with the style of a contemporary villa.

Here, you'll continue your wildlife encounters, but also have the chance for some downtime with a rejuvenating spa treatment, or relax by your private plunge pool, while the natural world continues its pace around you.

At these lodges in Sabi Sand, the gastronomic experience is a homage to South Africa's rich culinary heritage. Think gourmet 'braai' (South African BBQ), venison steaks, bobotie (spicy minced meat bake), and malva pudding – all prepared to perfection. Across all the Singita lodges, the meals are thoughtfully paired with exceptional South African wines, curated from Singita's award-winning wine cellar, one of Africa's most renowned. These pairings heighten your culinary journey, adding an extra layer of enjoyment to each dining experience.
