Our View
Another of the excellent Liz Biden's 'one of a kind' properties
(La Residence and Birkenhead House are the others). Anyone who
thought safari holidays meant 'roughing it' should come here. It's
nothing short of the ultimate in luxury, despite being located in
the middle of the African bush: there's the Royal and Malewane
Suites, with their own chef, butler and masseuse, for example; or
the blissful spa - perfect after a day's game-viewing. The colonial
splendour lends an air of 'Great White Hunter' peace and
perfection. It's so perfect in fact, elephants sometimes come and
drink from the pools, as if to order. Unforgettable.
Hotel Description
Royal Malewane epitomises luxury in its most unpretentious form;
a beautiful fusion of nature's wild beat with the quiet and
sophisticated heights of colonial comfort, elegance and style all
in the heart of Southern Africa's 'Big Five' territory. Fine
cuisine is served on the very best china with the palatial thatched
suites featuring rich dark wood terraces, infinity pools and
luxurious interiors. However, after an exhilarating day viewing
game you may wish to enjoy up to four complimentary massages (per
day) whilst staying in the ultra luxurious Royal or Malewane Suite
which also comes complete with private butler, chef, game vehicle
and ranger.
