Drive in the Wild
Royal Malewane
A game drive takes you into the bush in the comfort of an open-air safari vehicle every morning and evening. Feel your senses come alive as you hear, see and experience the diverse ecosystem unfold around you – from predator sightings to the calls of birdlife, the wind in your hair and a the promise of something new and exciting around every corner.
Experiences
A stirring and powerful story of nature
Game drives form the basic rhythm of the day on safari. Being out in the fresh air as the sun rises and sets across an ancient landscape brings a new awareness and a sense of connection to the natural world. Senses sharpen and excitement builds with the possibility of Big Five sightings adding to the anticipation.
Stop to investigate a footprint along a sandy track, or listen to the stories about flowers, birds, trees and insects as you traverse a dramatic landscape. Our award-winning guides effortlessly share their knowledge of the bush, their enthusiasm and sense of wonder contagious.
Specialist safari vehicles
Our specialised game drive vehicles are designed to make the most of every wildlife encounter. The spaciousness of top-of-the-range Land Cruisers provides ample legroom and room for photographic equipment, ideal for those who simply appreciate a little more space..
Your Tracker sits at the front of the vehicle, scanning both the ground for fresh tracks and deep into the dense bush ahead. Their trained vision and years of experience allow them to read the land and anticipate the movements of animals with extraordinary insight.
Book a private safari vehicle
Guests can book a private safari vehicle by speaking to our reservations team prior to arrival to ensure availability. Having a vehicle for exclusive use allows the drive to unfold at your own pace, with a dedicated Guide and Tracker on hand to adapt the experience to meet every need and interest.
This comes at an extra fee unless you are booked into our Royal Suites at Malewane Lodge, Baobab Suite at Waterside or our any of our three private villas – Africa House, Waterside House or Farmhouse – where a private vehicle, Guide, and Tracker are part of the whole exclusive experience.
