Safari | Royal Malewane
Overview
5 Days | 4 Nights
Be introduced to the wonders of the Greater Kruger National Park ecosystem under the expert guidance and care of an award-winning safari team. Experience the wild heart of the African bush in comfort, style, and seclusion with a stay at one of Royal Malewane’s three luxury safari lodges (Malewane, Farmstead or Waterside), each one embodying an exquisite vision of design and ultimate hospitality. Royal Malewane delivers an unrivaled wildlife experience with conservation at the center. Malewane is a classic bush style lodge brimming with timeless luxury, Farmstead offers a more contemporary design and Waterside is a colorful array of bold design. The Land Rover vehicles used are open air with no rooms or windows. There will be times these are taken off road. Please be aware that these are wild animals and even though they may seem relaxed it’s important that they are treated with respect in regard to how close the vehicles are to them.
Note: Pack very minimal and lightweight, earth toned clothing. Ideal colors for safari wear are Greens, Light Browns, Olives, Tan, Khakis. Since Royal Malewane provides laundry services, packing light should be easy. It’s always good to pack a windbreaker or fleece, as the night game drives can be cool. There is a small curio shop at Royal Malewane that sells clothing, hats, caps, batteries, sun cream and other essentials, so don’t panic if you forget to pack something.
