Pamuzinda Safari Lodge

Share this post

Pamuzinda Safari Lodge lies adjacent to Chengeta Safari Lodge, in the midst of the same 13,000-acre private game reserve, near the town of Selous. It is approximately 1.5 hours drive from Harare and the Harare International Airport, on tarred roads, with the last few kilometers being on well maintained dirt roads.  (GPS (GOOGLE MAPS) -18.126435, 30.371608).

The lodge is built with the entertainment area overlooking a lovely little stream, that is best viewed and enjoyed from the comfort of the beautiful wooden River Deck.  Dining can be done on this deck to take maximum advantage of the sunset views from here, while listening to the therapeutic sounds of the river frogs, or, if guests prefer they can dine indoors.

There is a large swimming pool with a shady pool bar near reception.  For those who feel the cold, or just like to snuggle up with a good book, there is a delightful big fireplace near the bar area, which provides lovely warmth on chilly evenings.  The grounds of the lodge are well watered and lush, providing easy and open access between the lodges, with abundant bird life drawn to the indigenous trees.

There are 14 lodges in total, comprising of:

  • 12 x Lodge Suites
  • 1 x Royal Lodge Suite
  • 1 x Gate House Lodge

Lodge Suites
All the lodge suites have en-suite bathrooms; each having its own private garden with a day-bed, an outdoor shower and a private veranda with views of the river and the surrounding wilderness. The suites have ceiling fans, mosquito nets, mini bars, lock box and complimentary tea and coffee facilities.

Royal Lodge Suite
The Royal Lodge Suite has 2 en-suite bedrooms plus a lounge with 2 day-beds. The lodge can sleep up to 6 people. This lodge has a private garden with a pool, an outdoor shower, a Jacuzzi and a barbecue area. The suite also has ceiling fans, mosquito nets, mini bars, lock box and complimentary tea and coffee facilities.

The Gate House Lodge
The Gate House Lodge is a large, private, three bedroomed lodge. It has 2 double bedrooms and one twin bedroom, each with en-suite bathrooms. The lodge also has a kitchen, its own veranda overlooking the river, and a private garden. In the large lounge there are three extra day-beds. This house is ideal for small groups and families of up to 9 people. The lodge also has ceiling fans, mosquito nets, mini bars, lock box and complimentary tea and coffee facilities.

Pamuzinda Lodge is linked to the national grid, so appliances like hair dryers and electric shavers may be used, so long as there isn’t a power cut.  If the power does go out, there is a back-up generator able to supply the lodge.  The hot water is heated by a wood burning Rhodesian Boiler.  Cell phone signal is good, and there is Wi-Fi available throughout the premises.

  • Horse riding;

We had a fantastic experience with Bryony and her team. Bryony is clearly knowledgeable about the region and guided us through our options and the Lake Kariba houseboat booking and choices. We had a fantastic time and I would thoroughly recommend using Heartveld.

We have just had an amazing 6 nights on Tambarara houseboat organised by Heartveld Adventures. The boat was very comfortable and the staff were excellent. The captain, Reg, was very professional and helpful, the chef cooked delicious meals, the barman kept our drinks flowing, the cleaners left animals made from our towels on our beds at night and the guys on the tender boat were so good with the boys aged 3, 5, 7 and 9 showing them what to do and putting on worms, for us as well. Highly recommended.

The trip was all you could ask for when you want to relax and forget about the world. Captain Godrey and his team consisting Pilot, Chef Takesure and Silas made our stay comfortable and easy. The food was flavourful and filling. You couldn’t say no to Chef Takesure’s meals. Silas kept our cooler box ready every day because he knew we loved our drinks cold and first thing in the morning. Pilot and Captain Godfrey took us to amazing views, magical sunset cruises and helped me find all the crocodiles I was looking for. I totally recommend Heartveld Adventures for all your Kariba fantasies! ☀️⛴️🍹#February2025

Right from when I started researching the trip in November last year, Bryony has been an absolute star. Nothing was ever too much hassle, especially with the rigours of trying to effect payment then! Then the houseboat in Kariba! What an amazing trip we had on the Ponty, and once again Bryony organised transfers and things on the spot, awesome and a big thank you to you and Char, the Ponty was the highlight of our Zim Epic! I cannot recommend Bryony and Heartveld Adventures enough, was so good to meet you at Charara, Cheers and thanks again Glenn and Family.

Heartveld Adventures really goes the extra mile when it comes to customer service. They really think of everything that would be needed for a great holiday. We've been on Driftwood Houseboat twice and am going on the African Queen in September 24. Really is an amazing experience with amazing staff, very helpful and caring about your comfort and enjoyment. Thank you so much 💖

Came across Heartveld Adventures blog by chance whilst trying to plan a holiday adventure in Zimbabwe.Offloaded my thoughts to Bryony, and a well sorted package with more than I asked for was presented.Stopped looking all over the internet for any possible deals, as this was the DEAL.If your intention is to go to Zimbabwe and enjoy its hidden treasures whilst accommodated in places you wouldn't have thought of and known existed, then save yourself the trouble, and get hold of Heartveld Adventures. Their service is what makes the country keeps going.Well done Bryony
