Radisson Safari Hotel Hoedspruit
9.1 (55 reviews)

Radisson Safari Hotel Hoedspruit ★★★★★

📍 Radisson Entrance Circle, R527, Hoedspruit

"Good gym, breakfast was varried and delicious. Nearer to the panaroma route. Room floors were dirty, had to clean the floor with the bathroom mat. Not walking distance to hoedspruit proper, will require a paid shuttle. Would have prefer if a free shuttle can be provided by the hotel. Not ideal for visits to kruger national park as it is approx 2 hours to the park. Overall, would recommend as a overnight stop after visiting the panaroma route."

Nyati Safari Lodge
9.2 (71 reviews)

Nyati Safari Lodge ★★★★★

📍 Maseke Game Reserve, 1 Parsons 155kt, Hoedspruit

"From the moment we were met at the airport by Nyati staff we felt safe and well cared for. The arrival at the lodge was seamless and we were greeted by the manager who went over the details of our stay. Our villa was amazing and we experienced two elephants near our pool on the first day. Each day the safari was fun and exciting and the guides were very knowledgeable and friendly. The number of animals we saw each day was incredible. The food was excellent and each night the chef presented the dinner and the manager presented the South African wine. We could not have asked for a better experience for our first trip to Africa."

Ukuthula Bush Lodge
9.5 (49 reviews)

Ukuthula Bush Lodge ★★★★

📍 356 Kierieklapper Street, Hoedspruit

"We had the most peaceful time at Ukuthula, the home made food and the peaceful atmosphere and the kindness of staff made our trip so enjoyable"

Muunga Bush Lodge & Spa
10 (31 reviews)

Muunga Bush Lodge & Spa ★★★★★

📍 420 Rotsvy Rd, Hoedspruit

"After four days of self drive safari in Kruger we wanted a few days to relax and recuperate before heading back into the park, and Muunga was the perfect choice! Jenny and Ruan are super friendly and welcoming hosts and really make you feel at home. The rooms and lodge are very stylish and immaculately clean... we'd love to have them decorate our home... and you can tell the passion and care that has gone into in every little detail. The location is wonderful, set in the wildlife estate and surrounded by nature, it's very peaceful and a little slice of paradise. The rooms are wonderfully appointed and very comfortable, with your own private space. We felt they offer excellent value for money. The atmosphere is very relaxed and friendly and we could happily chat with Ruan about safari and nature all day! We ate out one night at a fabulous local restaurant, then had a fantastic meal at the lodge the second night. We can't wait to come back again."

Unembeza Boutique Lodge & Spa
9.5 (59 reviews)

Unembeza Boutique Lodge & Spa ★★★★

📍 288 Wildlife Estate, Hoedspruit

"We had a wonderful stay at Unembeza. The location is fantastic, offering a peaceful atmosphere and a great base to enjoy the surrounding area. The food was excellent throughout our stay, and the staff provided warm, friendly service that made us feel very welcome. The property could benefit from some general maintenance and a few updates in places, but nothing that took away from the overall experience. With a bit of attention to these small details, it would be exceptional. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would happily recommend Unembeza to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway with great food and hospitality. "

Tzaneen Country Lodge
8.3 (5 reviews)

Tzaneen Country Lodge ★★★★

📍 Tarentaal 524, En Route R71, Tarentaalrand, Tzaneen

"the Location was great and the restaurant staff were friendly and provided us good service, which is unfortunately the two positive parts of our stay. when we arrive, the reception experience was very poor. No Information was given about the lodge or breakfast until I asked, and we were not even accompanied to our room. The condition of the room was disappointing. The shower and floors were dirty to the point where you could not shower without wearing flip flops. Housekeeping was also below standard. During our 2-night stay, the room was not properly cleaned, the bins were not emptied, dishes were not washed properly and both the bathroom and floors remained dirty. Only the beds were made. This was a very disappointing experience."

Rukiya Safari Camp
9.4 (41 reviews)

Rukiya Safari Camp ★★★★

📍 Wild Rivers Private Nature Reserve, Hoedspruit

"Rukiya is a small scale Safari Camp in the Wild Rivers Nature Reserve close to Kruger NP. The staff is incredibly welcoming and helpfull, really trying to find an answer to all your questions and needs. I have a serious eating disorder what makes travelling complicated in full board schemes, but staff and kitchen did a tremendous job to provide adequate dishes for me. Because there was a small problem with the tent we were meant to stay, we got a free upgrade to the river house, a very comfortable and welcoming surprise. White Rivers itself isn't a big 5 reserve and therefore the sightings in this reserve can feel less rewarding. Morning game drives are done in the Balule Reserve, which is a beautiful Big 5 reserve. We saw rhino, elephant and buffalo, besides herds of antelope, zebra, hippo and so on, plus countless amazing birds."

Phelwana Game Lodge
9.4 (33 reviews)

Phelwana Game Lodge ★★★★

📍 197 Guernsey Road, Hoedspruit

"During 5 daysI stayed in Phelwana Game Lodge. I loved it. Everything taken care of down to the last detail. Excellent cuisine. Recommended for both families and singles. "

umVangati House Hotels in Mopani

umVangati House

"The location is breathtaking with stunning views of the canon. The atmosphere was magical, so peaceful. The rooms are beautiful, again with stunning views of the canon and the best views from the bath! It is excellent value for money, including views, comfort and breakfast! Cleanliness was 100%, rooms and communical areas, such as the pool and dining area was clean and tidy. Everyone working at umvangati house were friendly and couldn't do enough for you. The noise level was low, very quiet and a great place to relax. The food was amazing and everything we ate was delicious! Especially the gluten free options, I had a chocolate lava cake one evening and it was the best gluten free pudding I have ever eaten! We honestly had the best 3 nights here before heading home and I would 100% recommend!"

Tshukudu Game Lodge Hotels in Mopani

Tshukudu Game Lodge

"Thank you Steven Sussens for ensuring that our 23 Worldschool guests, parents and children, had the most wonderful morning experiencing Tshukudu on an early morning bush walk and learning more about your rehabilitation efforts. Indeed most valuable and necessary even though we advocate against certain types of animal interaction, we appreciate all you do for those habituated species alike."

Gem in the Bush Lodge Hotels in Mopani

Gem in the Bush Lodge

"Our stay at gem in the bush was amazing. The place is isolated, at the very centre of a bush estate. It was just breathtaking waking up to the sweet melody of birds. However, our highlight was literally witnessing giraffes fighting😂😂😂😂. The room was amazing and clean, the outdoor shower was everything 🥹🥹🥹 the breakfast was delicious. The pool was good. The service by the staff was amazing. "

Khiwane Boutique Hotel Hotels in Mopani

Khiwane Boutique Hotel

"I had an amazing stay at this lodge! The rooms are absolutely stunning—super modern, beautifully decorated, and so comfortable. Every little detail was thoughtfully considered, making the space feel like a true home away from home. The staff were incredibly friendly and went out of their way to ensure we had everything we needed. The restaurant next door served the best steak I’ve had in a long time—it was cooked to perfection and complemented by a great selection of sides and sauces. The location of the lodge is perfect, offering both comfort and easy access to everything you could want. We had such a wonderful experience and will definitely be back soon. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for a relaxing, top-notch getaway!"

Magoebaskloof Hotel Hotels in Mopani

Magoebaskloof Hotel

"Conference facility was excellent. Friendly and competent staff and the food was top notch. Very neat and clean and overall a very pleasant experience.

Fairview Hotels,Spa & Golf Resort Hotels in Mopani

Fairview Hotels,Spa & Golf Resort

"The initial reception was poor, but the evening staff were of a much higher standard. We chose the resort for the Spa but found it fully booked by day visitors… this is not acceptable. The restaurants were fine but again frequented by day visitors with poor social skills and loud voices, very difficult to celebrate a romantic celebration. Management were good though at attempting to resolve and unnecessarily gave us a room upgrade. "

Pafuri Camp by Return Africa Hotels in Mopani

Pafuri Camp by Return Africa

"Our stay at Return Africa's camp in the Pafuri concession near Kruger National Park was incredible and exactly what we were going to experience. The personal touch provided by staff to all of their guests was incredible and unlike any experience that I've ever had. My 3 day stay was in November 2025. Beyond the personal level of service provided by the staff, the facilities were really nice. Our "standard tent" included a beautiful room with indoor and outdoor showers and a private toilet. All of their rooms overlook the river she have incredible views. Our guide, Andile, was great and each guest is assigned to a guide for the duration of their stay when possible. Birding is clearly a primary activity and specialty for the guides. But there are also many large game available to be seen (I believe everything except lions and rhinos are typically present in the region). I booked massages while on site which were great and a really nice way to spend a portion of the day between game drives. Our drives were from 530 to 9 or 930 am each day. We also had a 2nd drive from 430 to 7 pm each day. Each drive included a tea or happy hour stop with light snacks. Meal options were incredible with numerous menu items to select from. The staff take great pride not only in the quality of the food, but in the culinary experience provided to each guest. Regarding tipping... While the guidelines suggest tipping all of the staff at once at the end of the stay, I asked for clarification and confirmed that it is entirely appropriate and acceptable to tip our guides separately from the staff as a whole. We also tipped the massage practitioner separately."

"What a magical spot! We loved every minute. Such great accommodation - clean bright and with everything we needed. The meal at the Lodge was outstanding. We can’t wait to come back. Thank you Annie!"

Radisson Safari Hotel Hoedspruit ★★★★★
"This hotel exceeded all our expectations in terms of quality, luxury and service. The hotel is a short drive from the local airport and is perfect for safari. We used it as a base to visit different sections of KNP. We really enjoyed the stay and would love to come back. The facilities at the hotel are excellent and very comfortable. Highly recommended."

Nyati Safari Lodge ★★★★★
"We returned to Nyati Safari Lodge for the third time in Septemberthis year, having enjoyed our previous visits tremendously. While we really love the African bush and enjoy the game drives and the great views from the deck of our spacious and comfortable villa nature - including the Big Five - the hospitality and friendliness of the staff, the excellent food prepared by the chefs and the mere relaxation at the lodge ensures that we return time and again. We were once again impressed by the individual and collective efforts of each one of the game rangers to track the game in the vast area, also with their knowledge shared so kindly with us. Optional excursions are also on offer for interested patrons."

Ukuthula Bush Lodge ★★★★
"We arrived after an 5 hours drive from Johannesburg and stayed for 4 nights at the lodge. We visited twice the Kruger park which I can highly recommend to do as early as possible especially during summer time in Africa. And we had a private game drive close to the lodge. Both ca be organised at the lodge or you choose someone else and they pick you up. To the Kruger park it’s a 45-60 min ride per car. The lodge itself is great! The room was superb and big with all amenities you need and the provide always free bottle of drinking water. Breakfast and dinner was also good and I would recommend the dinner there. Fabian and his stuff are great and always helpful. We had a nice stay there and I would absolutely recommend it in case you are in this area or like to spend a night or more close to the Kruger park. Not to forget; the lodge is an private resort/ compound and therefor super safe. You will find other shops or restaurants outside at the main road."

Muunga Bush Lodge & Spa ★★★★★
"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 hiking trails that take you to waterholes with hides for viewing animals. I enjoyed the delicious breakfasts and dinners my entire stay. The Lodge, rooms and outside areas are beautifully decorated. There are a number of local magazines, bird and animal books available for reading. I definitely recommend Muunga Bush Lodge if you want to relax and enjoy the beautiful surroundings. "
