This is a stunning 4* lodge hotel with 2 outdoor swimming pools and beautiful landscaped gardens surrounding the lodge chalets. As well as relaxing at the hotel there are many activities to enjoy nearby including river rafting, fishing, hiking, golf and a newly opened elephant experience reserve. (AHJ 0508) The property consists of thatched chalets, some of which are on the river bank and others are situated in the sub tropical garden. There are also hotel rooms. The hotel is situated on the picturesque banks of the Sabie River and is on the fringe of the tiny town of Hazyview. The International airport is a 35 minute drive away. Only 12 kms from Phabeni Gate, the nearest entrance to Kruger National Park, and a short drive to the Panorama Route.

Hippo Hollow

The location was very convenient for touring the Panorama Route. "God's Window" was clouded in when we went to visit, but we were able to get up in the morning and drive back to see the beautiful view due to Hazyview being a close distance. We rented a two story loft. The upstairs loft didn't appear to have been cleaned in a long time. There were no screens on the windows and no mosquito nets. Insects weren't biting, but they were buzzing about. The back deck looking over the river did make the hotel worth staying at. There were hippos and a large number of birds we were able to view.

Shopping tip: Short drive from hotel

We went to nearby grocery and liquor stores to buy supplies for dinner, so we could enjoy the view from our deck.
