Royal Malewane
Royal Malewane is an exclusive safari lodge – a haven of old-world charm and stylish splendour. The lodge is located in Thornybush Private Game Reserve on the western border of the Greater Kruger National Park, in South Africa. It is an intimate and luxurious safari lodge with 6 palatial Luxury Suites, 2 spacious 2-bedroomed Royal Suites and Africa House – an exclusive-use bush villa with 6 bedrooms. With classic décor, it exudes the romance and beauty of a bygone age, while offering every modern comfort.
The Farmstead is the latest addition to Royal Malewane located just 12 minutes drive south of the existing lodge. Accommodation here consists of a main lodge area, three Luxury Farm Suites and The Farmhouse – a three-and-a-half bedroom villa offering private services. There is a double spa treatment room offering a variety of indulgent treatments as well as a gym. The land here is elevated offering dramatic views over the canopies of the Greater Kruger National Park, while the lodge itself surrounds a watering hole popular with the abundant wildlife.
