Matusadona has been described as “an intimate luxury lodge on the water”. With a length of 28.6 meters, a beam of 6.85, powered by two reliable 420 hp diesel motors, Matusadona is made up of three elegantly furnished decks with hardwood finishes and rich, classic fabrics. The lower accommodation deck provides guests with three en-suite, cabins, each tastefully decorated, made up with a queen size bed and cotton percale linens, offering air conditioning and mosquito proof portholes. The central air-conditioned Saloon Deck comprises a spacious lounge, indoor and outdoor dining areas, the gourmet galley and the wheelhouse. The Upper Deck, perhaps the most popular of all, provides a sociable bar, comfortable seating areas, al-fresco dining, and a refreshing jacuzzi, all with panoramic views across the lake to distant horizons.
With spacious air-conditioned cabin accommodation for up to six passengers, situated right on the waterline, you’ll feel at one with nature. The gentle lapping of waves, the frequent grunt of the hippos, the distant lion’s roar, the cough of a leopard, the eerie cry of the Fish Eagle and all the attendant sounds of Africa – you’re in the real bush whilst cocooned in the lap of luxury.
Matusadona does not sail alone, she comes with three attendant boats. The speed-boat is ideal for transfers and for water-based activities for a small group of guests. The luxury pontoon seats up to 10 guests, offers a spacious angling deck and is also used for game-viewing and sunset cruises. The third is a small tender, specifically used for mooring by the crew. Viewing wildlife from water offers completely different experience to land-based game viewing and watching a herd of elephants coming down to drink, the calves frolicking in the water with their mothers suspiciously standing by, is a truly memorable experience.
On sweltering summer evenings, sip on refreshing cocktails in the Jacuzzi under the stars, or at the bar, and on the odd chilly African evening, warm up with a Cognac in the cosy saloon and watch a variety of wildlife documentaries or the authentic "buidling of Kariba". Travelling to a different and secluded mooring every day, you will always awaken to a new experience, be it at one of the numerous islands, up one of the rivers, or on the main shores of the Matusadona National Park, these are experiences that many can only dream about.
Matusadona is undoubtedly the most luxurious vessel on Lake Kariba and offers the perfect venue for an amazing family holiday, a romantic honeymoon or simply a break from ‘real’ life.

Situated in a large private concession in the heart of the Zambezi Valley’s Mana Pools National Park, Wilderness Ruckomechi looks out from the banks of the mighty Zambezi River. It is a remote, picturesque place with spectacular views of the broad flowing river, the adjacent woodland and the mountains of the Rift Valley escarpment.
Ten spacious and beautifully decorated en-suite tents, including two family rooms, lie beneath the ana trees, best-beloved of local elephant for their nutritious seeds. The camp's central living space includes an inviting fire pit for pleasant evenings beneath the African night skies. Other unique features include a pool which overlooks a broad sweep of river, an outdoor “bath with a view” in a secluded, scenic spot, and a romantic Star Bed by a busy waterhole.
Open 4x4 vehicles, motorised pontoon boats, canoes and good old safari boots facilitate the wildlife viewing. Wilderness Ruckomechi is open throughout the dry (winter) season.
INSIDER'S TIP: A boat cruise along the mighty Zambezi is a wonderful way to see wildlife and waterbirds from a different perspective. For the more adventurous – there’s the option of canoeing along this famous river!

The majestic architecture of this intimate lodge has always been a signature of the property. The detailed stonework and imposing proportions of Great Zimbabwe form the main reference point for the lodge design. Interiors of the lodge reflect original references to the local Shangaan culture, artfully combined with contemporary forms and styles inspired by these African patterns and shapes.
With eight luxury suites, each with its own luxury plunge pool, Singita Pamushana Lodge makes for an unforgettable luxury safari but its work with the non-profit Malilangwe Trust and its enduring purpose to contribute to the conservation of the 130,000-acre wildlife reserve in which it sits sets a new benchmark for meaningful travel experiences.
