Wonderful exclusivity in the wilderness
Modern life has deemed it normal to always rush from one place to the next. At Royal Malewane Lodge, you'll learn the opposite. It's not only the luxuries, plush interiors and personal service that remind one of a bygone era, but also the pace of life. Its location in the Greater Kruger National Park makes this a truly remarkable place to see wildlife, and the highly qualified guides will take you out in search of the Big 5, cheetah and wild dog. This exclusive lodge is a meeting of modern facilities and old-fashioned hospitality.

The opulent interior of the rooms and suites all reflect a touch of colonial interior design. The six spacious Luxury Suites have mahogany four-poster beds, open fireplaces, limestone bathrooms with freestanding baths. Large windows bring the wilderness close, but not too close. The two Royal Suites each have two bedrooms and the added luxury of an outside deck and private pool. The Africa House is an exclusive use bush villa with six bedrooms, each with a private deck.
