Royal Malewane is one of Africa’s most luxurious wildlife lodges, renowned for providing the pinnacle of luxury and Big Five game viewing. Set amongst a canopy of indigenous acacia and lantern bush trees, the central library, shop and dining area - airy and simply elegant - are linked to walkways that thread to the eight luxury suites, each with its own rich wooden deck, rim-flow pool and thatched gazebo. For the ultimate in luxury, there are also the Royal and Malewane Suites, which comfortably accommodate up to four guests each, with the complimentary services of a butler, private chef and up to four complimentary massages per suite per day.

Guests can be assured of a variety of gourmet delights for instance; venison roasts slowly basted in the huge open fireplace of the semi-sheltered dining area. There is also the leisurely enjoyment of seven courses served with starched white napery, silver cutlery and crystal glasses. The pure luxury and elegance of this dinner creates an awesome contrast to the rustic African bush and makes the “silver and crystal” evening unforgettable. A Boma dinner overlooks the water hole, while local singers and dancers entertain and guests enjoy the sumptuous traditional dishes around the fires and under the open African sky. Imagine the surprise, when after your evening game drive you arrive at a clearing in the bush to a magnificent Bedouin tent bedecked with Moroccan lanterns and Persian cushions. With the mesh of trees outlined against the lanterns, the air is thick with sounds of the wildlife, but still with a sense of quiet, which makes you feel as if time is standing still. Truly magnificent and unforgettable!
