Since opening Royal Malewane has vied for pole position in South Africa’s line up of flagship luxury lodges. A frequent star in the world of international awards, it lies next to the Kruger National Park in the heart of Big Five country, surrounded by private land teaming with wildlife as sensational as the lodge itself. Grand colonial splendour is the theme throughout, with fine antiques, Persian rugs and an ambience of stylish extravagance almost beyond belief. Eight palatial air conditioned suites with fireplaces, glamorous bathrooms, secluded gazebos and private pools pamper guests in floor-to-ceiling luxury. Two of which are Africa’s largest safari suites and offer even more outrageous levels of cosseting with two bedrooms, a phalanx of staff and complimentary massages on demand. With one of South Africa’s award winning chefs at the culinary helm, a superb gym and spa, 4x4 safaris with rangers and trackers of the highest standards and guided bush walks, Royal Malewane is every bit as good as its regal name implies.
