Beyond the main lodges, Royal Malewane offers three exclusive private villas that represent the ultimate in high end safari accommodation. Africa House, originally the Biden family homestead, has been completely reinvented as the ultimate safari villa, capable of accommodating larger groups seeking complete privacy and personalized service. Waterside House captures the tranquility of the bush in a spacious villa setting, while the Farmhouse provides a private oasis with tailored services that elevate every moment of the safari experience. These private villa options position Royal Malewane as a leader in luxury southern African safaris, offering guests the rare opportunity to enjoy exclusive use facilities with dedicated staff and customized itineraries that epitomize truly bespoke safaris.

Accessing Royal Malewane via Air Travel

Royal Malewane's accessibility via air travel makes it an ideal destination for international visitors seeking seamless access to luxury safaris without compromising on comfort or convenience. The lodge is strategically positioned near Hoedspruit Airport, which serves as the primary gateway for guests traveling to this exclusive luxury south Africa safari destination.

Regular flights from Johannesburg Airport/Cape Town Airport to Hoedspruit Airport make this a seamless transfer. The proximity to this regional airport, located just a few kilometers from the reserve's northern boundary, allows for efficient transfers directly to the lodge via specialized game-viewing vehicles, ensuring that the safari experience begins the moment guests arrive.

Habitat and Wildlife at Royal Malewane

Royal Malewane is set within the Thornybush Private Game Reserve, a diverse wilderness area that forms part of the Greater Kruger National Park. The terrain here is a striking mosaic of open grasslands, mixed woodlands, tangled thickets, and thorny bush, interspersed with rivers, waterholes, and dry riverbeds. This rich variety of habitats creates ideal conditions for a broad spectrum of wildlife, supporting both iconic and lesser-known species throughout the year. The reserve’s unfenced boundary with Kruger National Park allows animals to roam freely, enhancing the authenticity and abundance of the wildlife experience at Royal Malewane.

The reserve is renowned for its exceptional concentrations of Africa’s most celebrated species, including the Big Five—lion, leopard, elephant, rhino, and buffalo. Sightings of leopards and wild dogs are particularly notable, with Royal Malewane being recognized for offering rare opportunities to observe these elusive predators. In addition to these headline species, the reserve is home to a remarkable diversity of wildlife. This biodiversity ensures that every game drive or guided walk provides guests with the chance to encounter both the famous and the unexpected.

Birdlife is a major highlight, with more than 300 bird species recorded, including up to four species of roller—broad-billed, lilac-breasted, purple, and European rollers—making it a paradise for birdwatchers. The reserve’s year-round appeal is further enhanced by seasonal changes: the wetter months (October to April) bring lush green landscapes, baby animals, and migratory birds, while the dry season (May to September) offers easier wildlife viewing as animals congregate around water sources and the vegetation recedes. This dynamic environment, combined with the expertise of Royal Malewane’s guiding team, ensures that every safari is both thrilling and immersive, making it a premier destination for luxury, bespoke, and high-end safaris in southern Africa.

Best Time to Visit
The ideal time to visit Royal Malewane is during the dry winter months from May to September.

Each season offers unique advantages, so your choice can be tailored to your preferences with our expert guidance.

What to Pack
Packing for a Royal Malewane safari should balance comfort, practicality, and style. Essential items include neutral-colored clothing (avoid bright colors), lightweight long-sleeved shirts and trousers for sun and insect protection, a wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses, and sturdy walking shoes. Evenings can be cool, so layering with warm jackets or fleece is recommended. Don’t forget your camera with extra batteries, binoculars, and personal toiletries. Royal Malewane provides laundry services, so packing light is possible. For spa visits, bring swimwear and comfortable attire.

Health and Safety Considerations
Guests should consult their healthcare provider regarding recommended vaccinations and malaria prophylaxis before traveling to the Greater Kruger region. Royal Malewane maintains rigorous health and safety protocols, including well-trained medical staff on-site and emergency evacuation plans. The lodges are equipped with first aid facilities, and guides are trained in wilderness first aid. The reserve’s unfenced boundaries mean wildlife encounters are part of the experience, but all activities are conducted under expert supervision to ensure guest safety.
