Covid-19 has unquestionably changed the way that we want to travel. After almost five months of lockdown, where many of us have been stuck within the confines of artificial structures and the racket of city life, the longing for authenticity, freedom, and the serenity of nature has never been more palpable. At Hoyo Hoyo, we have positively welcomed this reality to provide our guests with an elevated experience that is profoundly rooted in human understanding, wellness, and the surrounding landscapes.
Our Exclusive Lodge Use offering embodies where we come from, and what makes our home so exceptional.
The African bush with its natural distancing, endless horizons, and boundless skies, has always been ready for this occasion.

Surrender to the generous spirit of Ubuntu, the warmth of African hospitality, and the genuineness of a simpler way of life.
Our six distinctive Tsonga rondavels embrace who we are and how we have shaped this land

We have ensured that there are no barriers between you and the unspoiled depths of the Kruger National Park from all sides. Each one of our six luxury suites boasts breath-taking views of the Mluwati riverbed as well as the wildlife that surrounds the lodge throughout the day. Whether you are taking a leisurely shower in the open air, soaking in your spacious stone bath, or pampering yourself with one our bespoke wellness treatments in the seclusion of your private deck, we have ensured that you will always be at one with the environment.

We will always be a call away without ever being in your personal space.
One of the greatest advantages of our Exclusive Lodge Use offering is the unique chance to have a 10,000-hectare private concession within the heart of the renowned Kruger National Park all to yourself.
For almost 100 years, local and international visitors have had access to the park and enjoyed one of the world’s premier game-viewing destinations. After all, the Kruger National Park is home to an estimated 1500 lions, 12000 elephants, 2500 buffalos, 1000 leopards and remains the last refuge for our country’s white and black rhinos. “Big Five” aside, there is a myriad of other wildlife species to be admired with some 145 mammal and 500 bird species occurring in the park, including hippo, giraffe, zebra, cheetah, and wild dog, among others.
Yet, there is far more to the Kruger than meets the eye. The splendor and breadth of the Park can only be truly appreciated away from the busy tourist roads that only capture a snapshot of what exists beyond where the eyes can see. On our private concession, located in the abundantly rich western central part of the Park, you have 10,000 hectares of pristine wilderness to explore at your leisure.
Accompanied by your private guides, with a maximum of six guests per vehicle, you will have a once in a lifetime opportunity to call a gem of South Africa’s heritage your own playground.
Experience the inimitable thrills of off-roading inside the National Park in pursuit of the legendary “Big Seven” species that call our concession home. You will be able to schedule when you go out on safari, what you would like to see, and how long you spend at every sighting. If you would like the unrivalled experience of discovering the magnificent Kruger National Park on foot, or would like to spend time focusing on the smaller things out in the bush, our guiding team will be on hand to ensure that we provide you with an unforgettable wildlife experience.
