From our family to yours

The Royal Portfolio can trace its roots to 1999 when we converted our family holiday home into what is now Royal Malewane. We wanted people from around the world to enjoy the same happiness we’ve experienced, and make their own African memories. Today, The Royal Portfolio showcases the very best of the Rainbow Nation and offers perfect stays in pristine national parks, along rugged coastlines, in lush Winelands, and in the heart of the vibrant, multicultural Mother City of Cape Town. We look forward to welcoming you back to Africa, where all our journeys began.

Founder & Owner of The Royal Portfolio
