At the heart of Royal Malewane’s safari offering in Thornybush Private Game Reserve lies Malewane Lodge — the original property that set the standard for luxury safaris in Greater Kruger National Park. This classic lodge captures the romance of a bygone era, with interiors steeped in colonial charm and expansive decks offering unspoiled views of the surrounding bushveld.
Malewane Lodge comprises six one-bedroom Luxury Suites and two expansive Royal Suites, each featuring a private plunge pool, deck, and outdoor sala. Suites are accessed via elevated wooden walkways that wind through indigenous trees, leading to the main lodge area with its library, dining space, and the renowned Royal Waters Bush Spa. A standout feature of Royal Malewane is its guiding team, widely regarded as Africa’s most qualified, ensuring that every game drive or walking safari is both safe and unforgettable.
Malewane Lodge is an ideal choice for discerning travellers seeking traditional safari ambience, five-star service, and exceptional wildlife encounters in the Greater Kruger region.
