Lodges in Hoedspruit

All my expectations were met, the place is so beautiful and peaceful. I give them 100/100.

Wild animals, beautiful people, delicious food, over-the-top service....and so much more. Staff paid attention to detail. They remembered what drinks we had. If we made friends on safari and ate a meal together they would automatically set the table for the same number of people the next time. I felt like I made friends, extended family with everyone on staff.

As a solo traveler visiting Hoedspruit for the very first time, I honestly could not have asked for a better place to stay. Ingwenkala Lodge completely blew my expectations away. From the moment I arrived, the owners were unbelievably kind, welcoming, and beyond hospitable. Traveling alone to a new destination can sometimes feel daunting, but David and Mark immediately made me feel welcome and comfortable in their home. Their warmth and personal care made my entire experience so special and unforgettable and I left genuinely feeling part of the Ingwenkala family. The lodge itself is beautiful and peaceful, the rooms beautifully decorated, and the food absolutely delicious. I left with amazing memories and a real connection to Hoedspruit as a result of the wonderful hospitality I received during my stay at Ingwenkala Lodge. Please go and see for yourself, it’s a gem of a lodge!

I want to thank the staff of Maroelani lodge. We stayed may 15-17 and it was a Amazing experiencie. The service, the atenttion, the rooms, the food and the game drives. We had a welcome drink that was so good & also all the wines and cocktails were excelent. It was my birthday and they made it extra special, one of the most wonderful ones. They even sang happy birthday to me with a cake and decorate my room. It was the best service, stay here. You won't regret it. Thank thank you for the incredible stay.

We had an amazing stay at Etnika Manor House! from the moment we arrived, Rodney, the hotel manager, was always looking out for us. He was incredibly attentive and made sure everything was perfect during out stay. He even arranged incredible safari activities for us beforehand, which became some of the highlights of our trip. The lodge’s chef prepared delicious meals every day, always served with a warm smile that made us feel right at home. The hotel surroundings were absolutely beautiful, you could even spot wild animals right from the property! I highly recommend this Lodge to anyone visiting the area!

Wonderful place and great staff!!

The breakfast and coffee were very good.

Everything was perfect! Ivans the safari guide was super!!!!

The owner Josef was very friendly and accommodating. He made the visit very nice.

Everything-architecture, service, food, hosts.

We woke up with an ostrich staring at us. Many antilopes nearby. Giraffes are coming close, just a few meters from the hotel entrance. Ostrich and monkeys are roaming free in the lodge area. Seen some big cat paws near the backyard waterhole. So watch out. The viewing deck is great.

Very quiet and peaceful ☺️

The environment Stuff treatment, respectful, friendliness Felt home away from home Wonderful experience

Its absolutely beautiful and peaceful. I loved seeing the Kudu’s, Nyala and Impala every day. We stayed for 5 nights and I cannot wait to go back! Deon and Sue were fantastic and very accommodating and pleasant.

A beautiful place in an amazing natural setting, wonderful people who run it, great food. Everything was simply perfect!

The wildlife estate is a beautiful, safe area. We saw giraffe, warthog, nyala & dikdik riding into Warthogs Rest. The property is perfect in every way. I wish I spent more time there.

Muunga Bush Lodge is in a very unique location in Hoedspruit Wildlife Estate. I could sit by the pool and watch birds fly by or, nyala and warthogs wonder by. There are nice walking trails that take you to waterholes with hides for viewing animals. I enjoyed delicious breakfasts and dinners my entire stay. The Lodge and outside areas are beautifully decorated. There are a number of local magazines, bird and animals books available for reading. I definitely recommend Muunga if you want to relax and enjoy the beautiful surroundings.

A very nice manor owned by Trevor Jordon opened up for guests to experience the private game reserves of Khaya Ndlovo and Lakeview. The interior design is very interesting with lot of African art, books and personal items of the owner. Great morning and afternoon game drives each 3,5 hours. The food was great. Be sure to experience one of their BBQ nights. We stayed inside the main building which offered the nicest rooms in our opinion.

I booked the property for my wife to stay over for a couple of days. The property was rated highly and reviews were great. She needed a place that was comfortable, in short proximity to Hoedspruit and safe for her to stay alone. Ujabule was the perfect place. Staff were friendly and breakfast was great. Thanks guys

The location of the house - it provides a tranquil feeling and the privacy we required
