Great for what we wanted to do

Pros: Location great as have family living in the village Lovely setting peacefully quiet

A perfect, peaceful bush escape with beautiful surroundings

Pros: Our stay at Hoedspruit Wildlife Estate was absolutely perfect. The house was beautiful, spotless, and thoughtfully equipped with everything we needed. The peaceful surroundings, natural bush setting, and the chance to see wildlife made the experience truly special. It felt safe, private, and incredibly relaxing — the ideal place to unwind and reconnect with nature. The hosts were welcoming and responsive, and the entire experience exceeded our expectations. We would highly recommend this home to anyone looking for a tranquil bush escape and would happily return again.

Cons: None

Great accommodation

Pros: Beautiful house with everything you need for a longer stay including a nice splash pool. You can start hiking from the house. There is a “green belt” round the corner with a bird hide and lots of game.

Cons: A day before our arrival we got a message that we have to transfer a safety deposit. We were in the north of Kruger in the middle of the bush when we got the message. How is one supposed to do online banking there? They must find a different solution for the deposit.

Clean well equipped amd comfortable stay

Pros: The property is very clean. What you see in the picture is what you get. It is very beautiful with a well equipped kitchen. The beds and pillows very comfortable. Loved the outdoor shower. The road leading to the house is tar so any car can be used. No issues with network and close to town.

Cons: Nothing. Everything was exceptional
