DAY ONE
You will be met upon your arrival at O.R. Tambo International Airport by a Kruger2Canyons representative, who will assist you to the flight transfer check-in counter.
Your first glimpse of the Lowveld will be from the air: as you fly over the mountains the bushveld appears to stretch forever.
Your destination is Royal Malewane- luxury, in its purest form. On the western fringe of the Kruger National Park in the heart of Southern Africa, this lodge combines nature's wild pulse with quiet and sophisticated colonial comfort, elegance and style.
Royal Malewane is an exclusive getaway for those who value privacy, personalised service and the best game viewing Africa has to offer.
Up close and intensely personal, the spirit of the wild utterly seduces your senses. Every beat of your heart rustles in thorn and thistle, every breath you take sways and bends the tall grasses. You are at one. Game viewing at Royal Malewane provides you with the best opportunities for seeing the natural abundance of big game on the 13,000 hectare Reserve, home of the Big Five– lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo and rhino. Over 300 recorded bird species are also to be found in the Reserve.
Each of the six free standing and private suites rests in harmony with its magnificent surroundings with a rich deck wood terrace, thatched gazebo and spillway pool finding easy residence in nature.
The colonial style of the lodge is especially visible inside the suites, which feature a palatial air-conditioned bed/sitting room with a fireplace, antique furniture and canopied king-size bed as well as an extravagant bathroom with a window-side Victorian bath and indoor and outdoor showers. Here, after a long day of exhilarating game viewing, you can journey into dream's domain draped in Ralph Lauren linen as the lion-roars echo through your window of stars.

Game viewing is tailored to your individual desires, either by open Land Rover or on foot. Expert and experienced rangers and trackers accompany the guests. Royal Malewane is privileged to have the only surviving Master Tracker currently working in Southern Africa.
Elevated walkways link the suites to the main camp with the African sky your ceiling. The main camp complex is the heart of Royal Malewane. African thatched-roof buildings house the library, shop, dining and reception areas. Furnished with rich antiques and Persian carpets, every fitting creates the feel of original colonial elegance.
