5.0 (1 review) · Luxury
Luxurious safari lodge with private swimming pools, an award-winning wellness spa, and daily game drives and safari walks

Overview

In Greater Kruger National Park, Royal Malewane provides a luxurious yet authentic safari experience where you can enjoy animal watching from the comfort of the viewing decks and pools throughout the property. The hotel's location won't let you forget that you're out in the bush, as everywhere you look, you'll find various trees, grasses, and wildlife within the park, even from the comfort of your bedroom. The hotel isn't far from the nearest airport in Hoedspruit, Eastgate Airport, which is only a 45-minute drive away. 

When booking your stay at Royal Malewane, you can choose from three distinctive lodges on the property—Malewane, Farmstead, and Waterside—each offering a different style and design. Additionally, the property has three private bush villas, perfect for families or groups of friends wanting a homely atmosphere with multiple bedrooms, spacious communal areas, and private outdoor swimming pools.

Regardless of the lodge you book, each accommodation gives you a sense of comfort and luxury amid the wilderness. You'll find brightly colored rooms with large ornate area rugs, poster beds draped with mosquito nets, and local art on the walls. Each suite also has private outdoor spaces, with views of the trees and bush, offering a serene retreat after a day of adventure. 

Royal Malewane provides daily opportunities for guests to get up close with the Big Five (elephants, lions, leopards, buffaloes, and rhinos) and other animals during game drives or on-foot safaris. After a morning safari, treat yourself to Royal Malewane's award-winning spa, which offers a range of soothing treatments, a fully equipped gym, and guided yoga practice. When it's time to dine, enjoy an extensive list of South African wines and a tailored food menu while watching animals gather at the waterhole or in the bush under the stars.

The staff at the Royal Malewane made our trip very special! I can’t say enough about them. They went out of their way to create alcohol free cocktails for us to have on our safari rides. Loved every bit of the resort. Amazing views. We saw over 100 cafe buffalo by our watering hole right outside of our dining room! Read more
