Africa like never before.

Welcome to Royal Thabane

There are many five star lodges in Africa, but nowhere quite like Royal Thabane. Set in the heart of Limpopo Province in South Africa, Royal Thabane is an African icon. Locally, Thabane means ‘at the mountain’, and this spectacular private property is nestled into the foothills of the stunning Waterberg Mountain range. Royal Thabane is also a byword for effortless luxury.

An African adventure.

Since the 1850s, sub-Saharan Africa has hosted wildlife experiences, safaris and the finer things in life like no other destination in the world. Today, Royal Thabane draws on this history but also looks to the future, blending innovation and conservation with the traditions of the past.
