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.

Great experience planning our trip
We have just finished finalizing our trip with safari.com. Our agent was Nerine Du Plessis. She made our planning so easy. All our questions and concerns were answered in such a timely manner. We gave her our wishes and she came back to us with a very exciting itinerary. Now just have to wait until we get to do our safari.

Last minute booking
We are living abroad in Australia, heading on a last minute trip to South Africa. We reached out to Safari.com and were allocated Nerine Du Plessis as our consultant. Nerine was so great in helping us to organise this trip with only 5 weeks until departure/arrival in South Africa. Nerine has been incredibly prompt in her responses, articulate in the requirements and easy to communicate with. So far, we can't fault our experience.
