I think it's the emotions that Africa stirs in people.
It is so far removed from people who don't live in this kind of environment.
There's something in the soil that brings people back to Africa.
Royal Malawan is located in the low felt near the orphan gate of the Kruger National Park.
It is a unique area in the world. You don't get it anywhere else.
The lodge is surrounded by wilderness.
The animals roam freely and it really is a true bush experience.
The decor is classic with slight twist.
But I think it's something that will still be standing in 50 years time.
You really feel you are in a past time in Africa.
But with all the necessities of modern living.
The game viewing is excellent.
The superb big animals and a variety of plains game and small animals.
It's a real holistic package.
And of course the standard of the guides is exceptional.
The guide tracker relationship is incredibly important.
Out in the bush you need all the eyes and all the senses that you can play on.
In order to give guests the ultimate experience.
Wilson Messier who's been with us from opening day.
Who's one of the three living master trackers.
I've been lucky enough to go out walking just the two of us.
And you have someone that can understand the bush at a level that nobody else can.
And that is quite a unique experience.
The culinary experience at Royal Malawan is homely.
A lot of good honest food.
The dining experiences are different every night.
From a smart elaborate dinner at the lodge.
To something out in the middle of the bush which is truly beautiful.
Our team are like family members.
There's a whole lot of togetherness.
And a good family bonding environment.
There's this feeling that I get when I'm in the Loewveld.
And it's phenomenal. It really really is special.
And it's my home.
When you just sit and gaze across the bushveld.
All your worries melt away.
And it brings a lot of peace to people.
They always say once it's in your blood you can never get rid of Africa.
And I completely believe that.
