“In honoring the African bush’s natural ecosystem, the lodge has implemented The Royal Portfolio’s widely adopted promise to operate sustainably and with consideration for the earth, now, and in the future,” said Matthew Biden, CEO, The Royal Portfolio. “The core of our purpose and values is to contribute to the conservation of our physical environment, and to invest in the future of our neighbors in the community, with whom we share this natural heritage.”

 

The 12-bedroom lodge features a contemporary combination of steel, glass and thatch, boasting expansive views of the waterhole. Like The Lodge, The Farmstead and Africa House at Royal Malewane, Waterside seeks to provide guests with personalized service, unrivaled views and memorable experiences with family travelers in mind.

Welcoming children of all ages, Waterside offers a selection of one-bedroom suites, one-bedroom Aloe suites, a two-bedroom suite or a four-bedroom villa called Waterside House. All suites and rooms boast a private deck with a pool, theatrical designs and bright interiors highlighting different artwork.

 

The Royal Malewane’s team of guides and trackers make for an engaging and exciting experience for young families wanting to witness the wilderness. In addition to its qualified team, families can also relax and unwind in the property’s games room, spa, gym and yoga/meditation room. For the children, The Royal Malewane invites them to visit the kids’ entertainment area.
