Royal Malewane Thornybush Game Reserve

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.
