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 with experts on the ground. We get to share the unique experience of helping conservationists perform life-saving work for wild animals.

Photography takes patience and dedication. Our Guides are passionate photographers and have an insight into wildlife that is key to anticipating movement and behaviour – the recipe for the perfect photograph.

You’ll leave your safari with a renewed sense of appreciation for these colourful members of our world. Our Guides have earned the country’s top qualifications in birding, so if you’ve got a bird bucket list to work on, you’re in the right place.

Burst through the clouds in a helicopter and emerge on the other side to a flooring view of the world’s largest green canyon. Out one window is the savannah of the Greater Kruger, and out the other is the rise of the Drakensberg mountain range.

Introducing children to nature at an early age encourages a lifetime of discovery and wonder at the Earth’s great and small creatures. It is the start of a connection with our wildlife that deepens youngsters’ perspectives and builds curiosity that will lead them into the future.

Using a golden thread of luxury, Royal Malewane sews together special celebrations in an African paradise. From milestone birthdays to surprise proposals and secret elopements, we celebrate love in a place that ignites fire in our hearts.

Dining at Royal Malewane is a unique and indulgent occasion designed to elicit sensory responses and create memories of food that linger long after the safari is over.

Most people find themselves on safari looking for a certain level of healing, reconnection, nourishment for the soul. Our luxury spas, yoga studios, meditation spaces, and gyms create space for both mental and physical wellness and bring a therapeutic essence to your stay.

Play a round of golf on a course that beautifully blends with and complements the natural environment. A helicopter flight to the exclusive Leopard Creek Country Club will land you at one of South Africa’s premier courses designed by golfing legend, Gary Player.

Open your mind to what might lie beyond our atmosphere, and see it alight in the sky from the wild plains of our African paradise. Far away from the city lights, our galaxy twinkles in the darkness, and our Guides take you on a journey to learn more about our stars and constellations.
