This lodge offers the last word in luxury and personalised service, while at the same time, retaining its sense of place and authenticity. Malewane Lodge makes a striking statement, yet merges seamlessly into its surroundings. By combining moments of surprise and deep relaxation, time spent at Malewane Lodge adds up to the perfect safari experience. This is a modern take on luxury, where time, space and seclusion are the most important elements.
