Overview of Royal Malewane Africa House

South Africa, Kruger National Park

A rainbow treasure box in the heart of the greater Kruger National Park: Africa House at Royal Malewane is a trove of colour, texture, history and art.

Pass through the fortress-like, studded doors into a fairytale safari house where up to a dozen of your loved ones can enjoy the thrill of the wilderness or the pampering services in residence.

Deeply individual with a palette that runs the gamut of the rainbow and a glorious collection of objet and furniture, Africa House is one of the most original self-contained holiday homes on the continent. Referencing the grandeur of safaris past while making the most of modern creature comforts, all six jewel-coloured bedrooms offer riveting views of the game-laden wilderness.

When you are not out on your private 4×4 vehicle quietly tracking a magnificent rhino or a pride of lionesses on the prowl, take a swim, nibble what your chef has whipped up, get in a workout in the gym or de-stress with a massage – all in complete privacy and tranquillity. Africa House is also ideal for children and Royal Malewane makes a special effort to welcome them.

General Facilities

Think ‘Baroque in the bush': like an empress's jewellery chest, Africa House dazzles with peacock colours, ornate detail and offbeat details. Wake up in a 4-poster bed that was hand carved in Mombasa and is now draped in a froth of muslin, and wallow in an old-fashioned slipper bath tub in your enormous en suite bathroom. In the morning, take breakfast on the pretty terrace next to the watering hole – where antelope and elephants will also be having their first drinks for the day – and, that night, stretch out on the tan leather sofas with a nightcap in the art-and-antique-adorned living area and swap stories about your day.

Dining

Your meals will be expertly created by your personal chef in a fully-equipped, up-to-the-minute kitchen. If you prefer to dine out, take dinner under the stars and next to the fire at Royal Malewane's outdoor boma or tuck in under the brazier-and-lantern-lit Bedouin tent.

Africa House is luxury at its finest. A private villa in the middle of the African bush offers you ultimate exclusivity, top-notch service and incredible food! Africa House is a magical place to stay and, being in the Thornybush Game Reserve, game viewing is spectacular.
