Inspired by the heritage of the local Tsonga people, Hoyo Hoyo is a unique lodge in the heart of the Kruger National Park. Its architecture is unmistakable – this is a landmark eco-tourism property that respects both its human and animal neighbours.

Also set in the wildlife-rich Mluwati Concession, Hoyo Hoyo is located on an ancient elephant path – and these magnificent creatures still regularly pass by, guided by wisdom that’s been passed down from matriarch to matriarch for generations.

The lodge effortlessly blends the warmth of ethnic style with touches of modern luxury, while the organic shapes, earthen colours and natural materials of the structures help Hoyo Hoyo to blend in perfectly to the surrounding bushveld.

Hoyo Hoyo provides memorable safari moments a-plenty – and the lodge itself is unforgettable. Guests have the opportunity to experience the rich culture of the Shangaan, whose heritage adds nuance and meaning to the safari experience.

Each luxury air-conditioned ‘beehive’ suite features a king size bed, en suite bathroom, private outdoor shower and exclusive game-viewing deck. The décor is a charming collection of African fabrics and artisanal craft pieces made by the people of neighbouring communities.

The fusion of cultural elements can also be found in the delicious meals served at Hoyo Hoyo Safari Lodge, which offer a delicate balance of both traditional and European flavours and influences.

However enticing the lodge may be, the emphasis remains firmly on getting out there and experiencing the very best of the Kruger. Activities include open vehicle safaris, and guided bush walks, all led by experienced local guides with an almost uncanny ability to read the tracks and signs of the bush and ensure that guests are in the right place at the right time to capture perfect images.

After an exhilarating day in the bush, there’s no finer way to relax again than with a Nomadic African Spa treatment – the perfect next step on the journey.
