The Waterside at Royal Malewane is a new luxury safari lodge, the latest addition to The Royal Portfolio offering the same incredible safari experience with the most qualified guiding team in Africa, as well as the same exceptional service and cuisine that guests have come to expect at Royal Malewane over the past 22 years. It offers a spacious sanctuary elevated above the banks of a bustling watering hole and sleeps 12 guests across four Luxury Suites and one Baobab Suite.
