SIGNATURE GUIDED SAFARIS® • SOUTH AFRICA
Signature Guided Safaris®
Royal Malewane
Set within its own private game reserve in South Africa, Royal Malewane features six elegant suites, each with wraparound wilderness views. The experienced guides and master trackers at Royal Malewane are skilled at locating game, bringing you up close to Big Cats, Elephants and Rhino. The tranquil Royal Malewane Spa offers a respite from the heat and thrill of safaris. Evening feasts under the African stars are laid out by a team of chefs qualified as Chaîne des Rôtisseurs Blazon. Royal Malewane has been awarded Three Michelin Keys, the highest distinction from the Michelin Guide for South Africa, representing the very best in safari hospitality.
Royal Malewane Diaries
We’ve always felt that the heart of any great safari lies with its guides and trackers. Royal Malewane’s guiding team is renowned as the best-qualified in Africa, each member holding top-tier certifications from FGASA, the Field Guides Association of Southern Africa. Among them are master trackers, who hold a distinction so rare that few in the field ever earn it. They read the faintest signs the bush leaves behind, turning a print in the sand or a bird’s alarm call into a quiet moment with a Leopard. Your guide shapes each adventure around what moves you, keeping you safe and sharing the story behind every sighting, from the majestic to the minute. It’s this personal touch that turns your safari into memories you’ll carry long after the journey ends.

Every detail is perfection
Here, luxury intertwines effortlessly with authenticity. Royal Malewane stands as a bold yet seamless extension of its natural surroundings, offering moments of surprise and deep relaxation that shape the perfect bush escape. Featuring six luxurious suites with private plunge pools and viewing decks, Royal Malewane offers Big Five game viewing: home to Lion, Leopard, Elephant, Buffalo and Rhino in a private reserve. This is luxury reimagined — where time, space, and seclusion reign supreme.
Classic safari romance
Timeless elegance flows through the lodge’s architecture, echoing the ancient rhythms of the Kruger bushveld from the moment you arrive. Royal Malewane offers a classic safari element in its design. The spacious interiors feel like a much-loved home, where rare antiques sit among rich fabrics and deep armchairs, and soft lamplight invites you to settle in after the evening game drive. The lodge also features two Royal Suites that are perfect for two couples or a family traveling together. The Royal Suites offer two master bedrooms with a private pool and larger deck layout. Nearby, the elegant Africa House villa has been designed for the private use of family and friends on safari.
Our Royal Safari is a journey made to be shared with loved ones. It brings together your safari days here at Royal Malewane and the beauty of the Cape, from the Winelands to the coast. Along the way, beautiful private villas in the bush and in Cape Town give you a world all your own, long dinners linger over fine South African wines, and every day is shaped around your desires.
