Royal Malewane
Royal Malewane strikes that perfect balance between modern comfort and old-world elegance. Named one of the ’50 Best Resorts in the World’ (Condé Nast Traveler), this luxurious safari lodge has a prime location in Thornybush Private Game Reserve – a reserve known for excellent overall game viewing and consistently good Big 5 sightings.
The lodge has 6 Luxury Suites and 2 Royal Suites (2 bedrooms each). Each suite is extremely private and opens onto a game viewing deck with a rim-flow swimming pool and thatched gazebo. Interiors are opulent with dark wood furniture, Persian rugs and an extravagantly sized bathroom with a Victorian-style bathtub, as well as both indoor and outdoor showers.
For families or friends travelling together, the 6-bedroom Africa House is a child-friendly bush paradise filled with colour and character. While, a short drive from Main Lodge, the beautiful new Farmstead at Royal Malewane is intimate and more contemporary in style, and has just 3 Luxury Farm Suites and The Farmhouse – 3.5-bedroom private villa.
Game drives are led by an expert guide-and-tracker team, and focus on your particular interests. Between safari activities, pick one of the comfortable couches on the main deck or unwind with a treatment at the Waters of Royal Malewane Bush Spa (one of the best spas in Africa!). Dinners under the stars and flawless service round off the Royal Malewane experience.
Royal Malewane is featured in our pick of the 1o Most Luxurious Safari Lodges in Africa.
