Experiences at Royal Malewane

Spend your days with Field Guides and Trackers who’ve spent years reading this landscape. The heady aromas of the bush, light shifting across the savanna at dusk, the charged silence of tracking predators – these impressions remain as precious memories and a reminder to return.

There’s something almost primal about a guided walk through the Greater Kruger National Park. Being so close to the sights and sounds of nature, every aspect of the landscape comes alive – from the smallest creatures underfoot to the grandest of wildlife encounters, all under the expert guidance of our team.

Through specially curated activities, we invite you to get a close look at endangered species and work alongside experts in the field, experiencing first-hand the life-saving conservation work being done for wild animals in the Greater Kruger National Park.

Capture remarkable moments in the bush with the assistance of our Guides, many of whom are passionate photographers. Their intimate knowledge of animal behaviour and movement, combined with an instinct for finding the best light, makes for an extraordinary experience behind the lens.

Whether an experienced twitcher or a first timer, we guarantee an incredible birdwatching experience in the Greater Kruger National Park. Our guides have earned the country’s top qualifications in birding, making this the perfect place to tick off even the most elusive species.
