Masiya's Camp

Tucked amongst a pocket of greenery, the camp's main area is fronted by floor-to-ceiling glass doors that invite the outside in. True to Royal Malewane's culinary philosophy, meals are prepared with the freshest, seasonal ingredients, and the menu champions the incredible flavours of the region. An interactive kitchen, pizza oven and braai area invites guests to connect and at the heart of the camp is a vibrant bar adorned with the prettiest turquoise tiles and offering 360-degree views of the surroundings. During the day, spend your down time relaxing in the lounge or while away a few hours in the heated pool.

Sitting beneath stretched rust-red canvas, there are just six suites, each one uniquely styled in a variety of hues and decor. Combining the exotic and the traditional, you'll find Persian rugs, tailored furnishings, bespoke Indian doors and plenty of colourful artwork. Ensconced by floor-to-ceiling windows, each tent is 100 square metres in size with plush king-sized beds (they can be split into two three-quarters), a hidden pop-up TV, ceiling speakers, aircon, underfloor heating and wifi. The suites all open onto a private deck with a lounge and dining space, sala and heated plunge pool.

From Masiya's Camp, you'll have the chance to explore the incredibly diverse landscapes of Thornybush in the Greater Kruger region. Embark on game drives (including specialised photographic safaris) and guided bush walks, keeping your eyes peeled for leopard and African wild dogs. You can also delve into the reserve's conservation work at Royal Malewane's Conservation and Research Centre, the Mololoholo Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre or go on a helicopter patrol with the anti-poaching K9 unit. Golfers can tee off at Africa's most exclusive bushveld course, Leopard's Creek.
