“A celebration of the local Tsonga culture, from its traditional rondawel rooms to the splashes of tribal design and earthy tones defining its interiors, Hoyo Hoyo exudes a hearty spirit of warmth and welcoming.
Expect an authentic encounter with the local Tsonga culture in extraordinary bush surroundings; the Kruger National Park, one of Africa’s most renowned conservation areas and home to the Big Five.
Join the Cape-Turtle Doves and Arrow-Marked Babblers as they welcome a new day, heading out in to the bush for a feast of the senses; the smell of damp grasses, the pinks, oranges and yellows of a gorgeous African sunrise, the hissing of hundreds of crickets preparing for a warm bush day.
Spend your afternoon lazing at the infinity pool, watching the Monarch butterflies flit past and the geckos scurrying across the deck, or retreat to the comfortable lounge for a quiet read surrounded by traditional Tsonga craft and the light breeze of a lazy afternoon.
Savour a tasty Tsonga feast, treat yourself to a lengthy afternoon siesta or indulge in a soothing massage to revive body and mind.
Let the rhythm of the Shangaan ease and entertain you, inspire and teach you. Sit on the deck surrounding the open-air fire and stare at the brilliant starry sky as you listen to a storyteller tell tales of local myths and legends.
Get up close and personal with local traditions, a special encounter with the Kruger National Park and first-class hospitality at Hoyo Hoyo Safari Lodge, guaranteeing a memorable African bush experience.”

Animal Experience At Hoyo Hoyo Safari Lodge
The Hoyo Hoyo Safari Lodge is in a Big 5 area, and Wild Dog and Cheetah can also be seen on occasion.
Sable Antelope are found in this area too. Although there are not many herds they tend to be seen quite often, and we drive the Talamati road (About 10kms from Hoyo Hoyo) to hopefully try and spot one of these beautiful antelope, the animal behind our logo here at Stories Of The Kruger.
General bushveld and plains game can be seen here too: Kudu, Impala, Blue Wildebeest, Burchell’s Zebra, Giraffe and Warthog. Night drives are a must in this area.

Birding At Hoyo Hoyo Safari Lodge
The Greater Kruger National Park offers you, as a birder, the experience of a lifetime. The entire Park offers more than 500 bird species, and there are easily 250 bird species that can be found in the vicinity of Hoyo Hoyo Safari Lodge.
Bushveld birds are found in abundance, and the mornings are full of life as the birds wake up at dawn. You can identify many birds by their calls at the camp and on self-drives. I have mentioned it before about the area, but one can often find the Black-crowned Tchagra hiding away in the thickets. They are a common bird, well relatively, but are one of our favourites.
