Secluded and impressive, Africa House is the new addition to the superb Royal Malewane in the Greater Kruger Park, part of The Royal Portfolio Collection in South Africa; including the exquisite Birkenhead House and Birkenhead Villa overlooking the Indian Ocean in Hermanus and gorgeous La Residence in Franschhoek.

Africa House is a short drive in a game vehicle from the Royal Malewane through the thorn trees and heavily scented bush, alive with calls from the richly varied bird life. Enter through huge and imposing wooden iron studded doors. Within its walled courtyards all is quiet except for the gentle sound of water from the fountain creating a cool oasis. Siesta on the cream linen cushions in the casitas before joining the late afternoon game drive through the vast bushlands to the stillness of the evenings.

Spot a pride of lions through the silvery grasses, come across a cheetah with her three year old cubs and herds of silent elephants. See a progression of graceful giraffes and once the sun sets swiftly the air chills sharply in winter, a time to snuggle with hot water bottles and warm blankets.
