Upon landing at Hoedspruit East Gate Airport, I immediately saw my landlord welcoming me with a name tag and warmly introducing me to everything about Hoedspruit. Although the small courtyard where the accommodation is located is not large, it is...

Incredible hosts who made me feel like a special guest. They went out of their way to accommodate me as I left very early and returned very late but they made sure there was always delicious food ready for me. Truly exceptional!

First, the warmth and hospitality of the hosts. The lodging is on a private estate on the edge of the bush, so it is quite secure. It has a viewing deck to see the surrounding areas and the incredible stars in the evening. Hot water on demand...

Switsongo means "little things" in Xitsonga the local language. This name was chosen to draw attention to the little wonders of nature in our area, since there is already such emphasis on the African Big 5. The natural bush contains a treasure trove of truly amazing and beautiful creatures of all shapes and sizes and we would like guests to enjoy these as much as the incredible large creatures of Africa. Switsongo B&B is in the heart of a stunning wildlife estate in Hoedspruit. The area teams with wildlife and walks and drives are possible on the estate. Guests can also simply enjoy the beauty and tranquility of the bushveld while relaxing alongside the pool. The four tastefully appointed en suite rooms at Switsongo offer stylish comfort for our guests to enjoy. Delicious breakfast, prepared by our staff and your host from the best local ingredients is included as part of your stay. Lunch and dinner can be enjoyed at one of a variety of restaurants close by in and around Hoedspruit. Switsongo is perfectly located to serve as a base from which a range of interesting and adventurous day trips can be taken. Come and enjoy the hospitality, comfort and style of the African bush at Switsongo, with us.
We are a Belgian couple that loved to travel a lot. But we lost our heart in Africa and especially here in Hoedspruit. We would like to offer our guests an enjoyable, comfortable, safe experience which is uniquely Hoedspruit when they stay with us at Switsongo. I look forward to providing you with a wonderful stay where your privacy is paramount. I look forward to hosting you at Switsongo.
Switsongo is located in the heart of a beautiful secure wildlife estate in Hoedspruit. Hoedspruit is a small tourist town surrounded by private Big 5 game reserves and close to the iconic Kruger National Park. The area is famous for some of the most exclusive safari lodges in Africa. It is also on the doorstep of the largest green canyon in the world, the Blyde Rive Canyon. As a result Switsongo B&B is ideally located as a base from which to do a wide range of day trips. Any number of interesting and exciting trips can be arranged from Switsongo. Hoedspruit also has a range of restaurants close by that guests can enjoy meals at. Your host, Koen, can assist you with information regarding day trips and she can book these for you should you be interested. The Hoedspruit Wildlife Estate provides a wonderful environment in which to take walks, do birding and take short game drives. There are a number of trails marked out on the estate that can be walked or cycled. Hides at the dams of the estate also provide good game viewing and birding opportunities. We look forward to having you come and enjoy this extraordinary natural environment with us.
