Farmhouse at Royal Malewane

Farmstead is an exclusive-use villa within Royal Malewane, a private concession in the Greater Kruger territory of Limpopo. The property takes the whole party: up to fourteen guests across the full Farmstead, or four bedrooms in the Farmhouse villa on its own. One bedroom is smaller and suits children; the others each have a private deck and an outdoor shower looking out over the surrounding bush.

The Farmhouse covers six hundred and thirty-six square metres including the verandah and decks. At its centre is a large heated swimming pool that extends toward the treeline. The villa comes with a private chef, a dedicated safari vehicle, and a guide and tracker team — meaning your game drives, bush walks, and night drives run on the villa's own schedule rather than a shared one.

Royal Malewane records more than three hundred bird species on the concession, and the guide team runs birding safaris tailored to a list if you bring one. Photographic safaris are also available, with guides positioning the vehicle ahead of anticipated animal movement. Conservation activities, including rhino dehorning participation, can be arranged in advance subject to availability.

A fitness room and spa treatment room sit within easy walking distance of the Farmhouse's private entrance. Helicopter scenic flights to destinations including Leopard Creek golf course can be arranged as an add-on. An extra room within the Farmstead is available for any staff travelling with your group — a photographer, nanny, or personal pilot, for instance.
