I spent an unbelievable four days in Royal Malawane in February this year; it really was an experience we will never forget. The game viewing was superb- helped by our knowledgeable ranger Jonathan and our expert tracker Jonas. The highlight had to be an excellent viewing of leopard cub playing in a tree (see photo). The food and wine was... More

I am lucky enough to have stayed at quite a few safari lodges and all of them have been excellent but this place just takes it up to another level. The interior design and décor are beautifully done. The service is perfect, not over-bearing but it seemed I was offered something just at the moment that I thought I might... More

My wife and I stayed at the Royal Malewane safari lodge for a few days during a month safari in South Africa last May 2012. The lodge is rated a five start but we felt if their was a six star it would be rated as such. The lodge, rooms, service and food are excellent. We had very good game... More

Later, we transferred to our room, which is a short distance from the main building. We had a completely private accommodation with a private pool. While... More

My husband and I can't stop talking about our experience at RM this August. It was the trip of a lifetime, and we know that the memories will last forever. From the minute we arrived, we were treated like royalty. The staff greeted us with smiles and warm hospitality - we never experienced anything quite like it. I am still... More
