Royal Malewane

Royal Malewane is The Royal Portfolio’s luxury safari collection in Thornybush Nature Reserve, a 15,000-hectare private nature reserve within the Greater Kruger National Park. Guests will experience the wild heart of the African bush in comfort, style and seclusion.  Each lodge, individually designed and created for couples, friends and families looking for solitude, relaxation, and to connect with nature and the wild. Royal Malewane’s guiding team is considered the most qualified in Africa, with over 350 years of combined bush experience and top-level FGASA certifications.

There are four luxury lodges at Royal Malewane. Malewane Lodge was the first to open in 1999, transformed from the Biden family’s bush home into a luxury lodge. It reflects owner Liz Biden’s desire to share the bush with others. It’s a classic and traditional lodge, brimming with old-world elegance and timeless luxury. Farmstead is a contemporary-style lodge that's stylish and comfortable, and it’s the more private and intimate lodge in the collection, featuring three luxury suites. 

Waterside is modern and combines thatch, glass and steel. It’s a spacious, family-friendly sanctuary and brings a splash of color to the banks of the bustling waterhole. Masiya’s Camp takes beige out of safari with its unique, bold pink canvas. This exclusive experience under canvas offers ultra-modern style with comfort and bold colors, it includes six luxury tented suites. 

For ultimate privacy and for multi-generational families and friends to enjoy the bush, Royal Malewane has created three exclusive-use private villas: Africa House, Waterside House, and Farmhouse.
