Spaces

Here’s a list of the most exclusive villas to stay at and things to experience on your African Safari

We all know several travel stories of Bollywood stars and their fancy go-to places where they like spending holidays. But taking a break from the reel life means much different in Alia Bhatt’s dictionary; if you are an avid follower of our very own Alia Bhatt, you must already be aware of her vlog we are referring to. Straight from her camp in midst of Kenya’s Masai Mara National Reserve, she shares a glimpse of her holiday to the wilderness. Wouldn’t you be as excited to spot a lion stroll by your tent or having the time of life enjoying the calm in isolation away from city light? Don’t think and take cues from Alia to plan your perfect gateway to the wilderness. For your ease, we have done the drill for you and have found out two of the most exclusive villas in the South African jungle where you can enjoy the wild nature in the lap of luxury. Ready for the roar?

Royal Malwane

Picture yourself lying peacefully with dramatic views of the canopies of the Greater Kruger National Park amidst the abundant wildlife. Looks magical right? You don’t have to yearn for such holiday as Royal Malwane in the remote of South Africa is just the right destination for your safari longings. Getting famous among adventure seekers, the Farmhouse is also a perfect place for the one who is seeking a much-needed break, like Alia. The property comes with private staff, a pool, and three suites, you can also access the gym or spa, only if the captivating wild allows you to.

You have the best of guides around.
