Experience the wild heart of the African bush in comfort, style and privacy at Royal Malewane’s three luxury safari lodges and private bush villas, each one embodying an exquisite vision of design and ultimate hospitality. The most qualified guiding team in Africa delivers an unrivaled wildlife experience with conservation at the centre.
A classic and traditional bush-style lodge, The Lodge at Royal Malewane was originally the Biden family holiday home, later converted to become the first luxury lodge in The Royal Portfolio collection. Brimming with old-world elegance, it was designed and decorated to be an elegant refuge in the heart of the bush.
Spacious private decks, complete with crystal-clear pools, allow you to make the most of the surrounding wild beauty and enjoy the warmth of the sunshine. The best safari moments are not always as predictable as the dawn and dusk of day, like the surprise presence of elephants at your private plunge pool, paying you a gentle visit.
Boasting unparalleled views over the surrounding bushveld, the six Luxury Suites at The Lodge are the pinnacle of opulence and old-world elegance.
Enjoy private services and gatherings in the warmth of cozily decorated living rooms, where every care has been taken to create a comfortable space for togetherness.
Time is luxury. We streamline your choices for the perfect safari.
