5.0 (1 review) · Luxury
Luxurious safari lodge with beehive-shaped suites, an outdoor pool, and the chance to see wildlife up close

Overview

Hoyo Hoyo Safari Lodge is a private property located in Kruger National Park, near Manyeleti Game Reserve and within the region of the Djuma Game Reserve. During your stay, you'll be immersed in the area's rich biodiversity, home to the Big Five, and be part of the lodge's mission to preserve the area's biodiversity through sustainable and constructive ecotourism. Situated on the banks of the dry Mluwati riverbed, you can observe native wildlife, like elephants and zebras, just outside your room as they forage in the scenic landscape surrounding the lodge. 

Hoyo Hoyo Safari Lodge has less than 10 air-conditioned guestrooms designed after traditional beehives. The rooms' earthy interiors are adorned with brightly colored walls, traditional ornaments, and little embellishments of the local Tsonga culture. Bathrooms feature deep soaking tubs. Off each room, you'll discover a private furnished balcony where you can enjoy the outdoors. These circular timber decks offer views of the waterhole and surrounding plains.

Begin your day with a buffet breakfast on the deck featuring a variety of fruits, nuts, yogurts, breads, pastries, and cheeses, or opt for a full English breakfast. Lunch is light, with a buffet of salads and meats, followed by High Tea with freshly baked cakes and pastries. In the evening, warm yourself around the open-air fire and enjoy a three-course dinner under the stars. When you're ready to relax, unwind with a spa treatment or massage on your private deck, or take a refreshing dip in the outdoor pool with views of the nearby waterhole where the various wildlife often stop to drink. If you're feeling adventurous, your stay includes morning and evening safaris. Private guides lead these outings, where you can observe the rich biodiversity and beauty of the African landscape from the comfort of an open 4WD Land Cruiser vehicle.

I highly highly recommend this safari lodge - I do not think I have ever encountered such warm, genuine hospitality! The staff were ever-present to help us out, always smiling and made evenings in the Bush a true delight. Our safari guide, Pharence, was a delight - witty, knowledgeable about the animals, receptive to what we wanted to see and fun to chat with. The rooms were luxurious and the outdoor shower was amazing. The lodge looks out onto a watering hole, which hugely increases your chances of seeing wildlife - at some point, we saw elephants, warthogs, giraffe, zebra and baboons, drinking water, frolicking in harmony. Truly a pleasure to have stayed here, and we cannot wait to be back!

The only thing we would change about our stay is - STAY LONGER!
