The Details

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.

Luxury Suites

Boasting unparalleled views over the surrounding bushveld, the six Luxury Suites at The Lodge are the pinnacle of opulence and old-world elegance.

Africa House & Royal Suites

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.
