Royal Malewane Waterside
Royal Malewane Waterside offers an unrivalled luxury safari experience in South Africa’s Greater Kruger Park. A member of the exclusive Royal Portfolio group, which includes The Silo and La Residence, Waterside is nothing if not atmospheric with its panoramic views of the waterhole fringed by fever trees and wildlife. It is perfect for couples or families who value memorable experiences, personalised service, and unrivalled game viewing with the most qualified guiding team in Africa.
Waterside offers 2 Aloe Suites, 4 Luxury Suites, 1 Baobab Suite with 2 bedrooms and 1 Waterside House with 4 bedrooms. All the suites are elegant and individually decorated with Liz Biden’s signature maximalist style and feature private plunge pools on expansive decks with views over the bush (and sometimes visiting elephants). Dining at the lodge is completely flexible. Whether you feel like a light salad by the pool in the privacy of your Suite or a decadent 6-course dinner paired with fine wines, the dining team will ensure that you are carefully looked after. Between your thrilling wildlife activities, spend your days unwinding poolside, enjoying soothing wellness treatments, yoga and meditation, and relishing world-class wine tastings.
We are proud to say that this property is affiliated with the International LGBTQ+ Travel Association (IGLTA) and welcomes members of the LGBTQ+ community.
