Experiences
Game Drives
Experience Africa's abundant wildlife on morning and afternoon game drives with expert game rangers and trackers. Game drives at Royal Malewane are tailored to suit your interests, so you can track your favourite animal or see the birds, flowers or trees that you love most.
To engage with the landscape even more intimately, explore the bush on foot with our expert guides and trackers at your side.
Walking Trails
Experience the wonders of Africa’s elusive wildlife up-close on Royal Malewane’s walking trails.
The Royal Malewane guides have carefully designed several trails that cater to every level of fitness, covering varied habitats, and offering great potential to view wildlife on foot. Very few lodges are able to offer such walks due to the additional qualifications required to lead them. Each of the Royal Malewane rangers is well qualified to lead walking trails.
Birding Safaris
Opening your eyes and ears to the fascinating bird life at Royal Malewane will add a entirely new dimension to your safari experience.
There are over 300 different species of birds at Royal Malewane. From the minute Grey Penduline Tit to the immense Lappet Faced Vulture, there are all manner of weird, wonderful and colourful birds in between.
Specialist Photographic Safaris
A passion for wildlife and a passion for photography often go hand in hand. The Rangers at Royal Malewane will tailor your safari experience according to your level of interest and skill.
A private safari at Royal Malewane means that your adventure is not limited to strict opening and closing times which is the case in national parks. Private game drives are able to linger longer and for photographers, the difference between one hour and the next can be the difference between a good shot and great one.
Our rangers will help you find the right angle and the right light for that perfect shot.
