Singita truly is a “place of miracles”, with incredible wildlife, elegant design, spectacular food and very special people. It isn’t just about the experience at the lodges however; miracles also happen in the communities around them and in the lives of those living in each concession. The upliftment of these local communities is as important to the success of Singita as the wildlife conservation that drives the core vision to preserve and protect large tracts of wilderness in Africa for future generations.
The highlights of these development programmes were brought to life recently in a series of videos produced byGinkgo Agency, one of our creative partners. These beautiful and captivating narratives (shown below) perfectly captured the spirit of each project while being informative and interesting to watch.

For our final video in the series, we approached conservationist and cinematographerKim Wolhuter, when he was based in theMalilangwe Reserve. Shot in his signature documentary style, this short film follows the story of a young schoolgirl who benefits from theChild Supplementary Feeding ProgrammeatSingita Pamushana. This initiative, facilitated through Singita’s development and conservation partner in Zimbabwe,The Malilangwe Trust, provides additional food and nourishment to 19 000 children in the local communities.
