A Signature Safari Experience in the Greater Kruger
Greater Kruger National Park, South Africa
Eclectic, luxurious and not to be missed, Royal Malewane is one of South Africa’s most celebrated safari destinations. Set within the Greater Kruger National Park, it offers a rare level of choice and flexibility while maintaining exceptional guiding standards throughout.
Royal Malewane comprises four distinct luxury safari lodges: Malewane Lodge, Farmstead, Waterside and Masiya’s Camp, along with three exclusive use private villas: Africa House, Waterside House and the Farmhouse. Together, they create one of the most refined and versatile safari offerings in the Greater Kruger.
Designed around choice rather than a single lodge experience, Royal Malewane allows guests to select between classic safari elegance, contemporary retreats, family friendly spaces or deeply private villas, all delivered with consistent service, wildlife access and guiding excellence.
Across all the lodges and private villas, guests benefit from Royal Malewane’s reputation for outstanding service, refined dining and highly skilled guiding, creating a safari experience that feels both indulgent and deeply immersive.
