When the conservators of The Malilangwe Trust searched for a site for a true six-star hotel, they were drawn to this rocky promontory overlooking the gorge of the Nyamasikana River in the same way that the Changana and the San Bushmen had gathered on this very hilltop on sacred days to honor the spirits of their people. They named it Pamushana – “A Place in the Sun”.

If you were to swoop down like an eagle to the plains below and then look up, unless someone were to point it out to you, you might not even see Pamushana. This is a quietly luxurious lodge that Conde Nast Traveler has once called “one of the 21 hottest hotels in the world”.

Perched on top of an escarpment, with spectacular panoramic views is an opulent, luxurious and unrivalled celebration of the glory of the African bush – Pamushana – clearly one of the most exquisite safari lodges in Africa. Each of it’s six villas are spacious to the extreme, built with intricate hand-hewn stone work, exotic works of art and richly textured materials collected from all over Africa. Walls of sliding glass lead out from your bedroom onto a teak game viewing & leisure deck with private swimming pool and Swarovski telescope.
