Repose, refresh and rediscover yourself in the company of all things wild.
Royal Malewane is for those who would like to escape the constraints of modern life to experience a synthesis of wildest Africa and age-old colonial splendour. As the suites are set deep in the African bush - this unspoilt paradise may not suit those who seek a tame, sterile environment. Rather, it suits the more adventurous traveller who wants to experience true Africa.
Luxury, in its purest form, transcends both the material and the sensual. It is a pannier for the soul, suspended quietly in space and time, high above life's familiar course.
The joys of a bygone era await you at Royal Malewane, situated on a private reserve within the greater Kruger Area in South Africa. Accommodating a maximum of 20 guests in the utmost colonial splendour, Royal Malewane is an exclusive getaway for those who value privacy, personalised service and the best game viewing Africa has to offer.
Each of the eight freestanding and private suites rests in harmony with its magnificent surroundings with a rich deck wood terrace, thatched gazebo and spillway pool finding easy residence in nature.
The colonial style of the lodge is especially visible inside the suites, which feature a palatial air-conditioned bedroom/sitting room with a fireplace, antique furniture and canopied king-size bed as well as an extravagant bathroom with a window-side Victorian bath and indoor and outdoor showers. The suites luxurious interior appointments draw inspiration from the grand colonial ethos; neo-classical refuge in the raw uncompromising bush. Here, after a long day of exhilarating game viewing, you can journey into dream's domain draped in Ralph Lauren linen, as the lion-roars echo through your window of stars.
Elevated walkways link the suites to the main camp with the African sky your ceiling.
The main camp complex is the heart of Royal Malewane. African thatched-roof buildings house the library, shop, dining and  reception areas. Furnished with rich antiques and Persian carpets, every fitting creates the feel of original colonial elegance.
There is a wonderful new gym and spa facility offering health and skincare therapy by internationally qualified in-house therapists.

Alternatively, they may relax with a treatment in the complete privacy of their own suite.

Moholoholo - Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre:
 Situated in the shadow of the majestic “Mariepskop” this unique conservancy is home to many wild animals. A visit to the Moholoholo Wildlife Rehabilitation centre is an unforgettable experience. A wide variety of birds and animals can be seen here, where Brian Jones and his team nurture the injured and orphaned, rehabilitating them for release back to the wild wherever possible. Those that are not so fortunate, due to the nature and extent of their injuries, are cared for in captivity to educate the many people who visit Moholoholo each year.

Hot Air Balloon Flights:
Flights over the African Wilderness
Experience the magic of lighter-than-air flight over the Lowveld Big Game areas adjoining the Kruger National Park. When game is spotted, the rather noisy main burners will be switched over to a “whisper” burner so as not to disturb the animals.
Meeting before Sunrise coffee is served while you watch your 8 storey high balloon being inflated and prepared for flight. The Pilot will give you a safety briefing and get you airborne in time to witness the sunrise. Seeking favourable winds, you will change altitude and drift gently over the landscape below.
After about an hours flight, the pilot will select a suitable landing site where the recovery crew will be in attendance. Sparkling wine and fruit juice is served during or after the flight, depending on the weather.

A challenging 18 hole, Par 72 Championship Golf Course, where crocodile and hippo add spice to the normal “hazards” of a good game of golf. Enjoy this unique course, which extends over a vast area of indigenous bush, interspersed with tranquil pools and velvet greens.
Horse Riding Safaris:
The horse trails are conducted on the beautiful Moholoholo Mountain View Game Reserve bordering the Blyde River Canyon. The Reserve is home to a vast variety of animals and birds such as eland, giraffe, kudu, wildebeest, klipspringer, warthog, impala, hippo, duiker and nyala.

Mapusha Weavers Community Tour:
Mapusha Weavers is a small group of local Shangaan and Mapulaneng Sotho women from the community of Rooiboklaagte in the nearby village of Acornhoek. Mapusha Weavers' women's empowerment project began in 1973 after two sisters were sent by the Acornhoek Catholic Mission for training in weaving and spinning. All of their products (rugs, tapestries, bags, etc…) are entirely hand-made and unique. The women spin and dye the textile (wool or cotton) themselves and carefully weave each piece according to inspiration or custom-ordered designs. Emerencia Mohlolo, the daughter of an original Mapusha Weavers' member and a weaver herself, will guide you through the 30-year history of the project that not only brought two cultures together to create woven masterpieces, but also to support their families and relatives.
You will meet the women at work in their rural studio, after which you
will join Emerencia on a short drive to visit Miriam Mabila, a Sangoma (a traditional healer) with her students training to become Sangomas. You will have a chance to ask Miriam questions, and she will share with you the spirit of the ancestors. Continue on by vehicle to the home of Sarah, a local mud bowl maker, to learn how she utilizes the soil of Rooiboklaagte to mould her products, and leave the vehicle behind to join Emerencia on a short walk along the winding footpaths of her community. During this time you will visit Joseph, a local grass weaver, Thoko at her Shabeen (an African bar where home brewed
beer is sold) and Mrs. Virginia Sithole and the children of the Katlego Community Creche.
Elephant-Back Safaris:
In March 2002 Zimbabwe prepared for an election and due to the invasion of farms by war veterans the future of a group of 12 trained elephants was in jeopardy. A rescue mission was launched by Lente Roode and her team and the elephants were successfully relocated to the safe haven of Camp Jabulani.
During your Elephant-back Safari you will be seated on a comfortable canvas covered saddle, mounted behind an experienced elephant handler. We welcome you to this unforgettable experience and you will soon discover that the elephants enjoy the ride as much as you do. This dreamlike adventure offers magical moments as well as the opportunity to come in close contact with wildlife. Your Elephant-back Safari of approximately an hour and twenty minutes will also include a talk on elephant behaviour and refreshments afterwards. Please note that clients are requested to sign an indemnity form and that this activity is not available to children under the age of 12 years. The 12 elephants can carry a maximum of 18 pax between them at any one time.
