Location & Setting
Hoyo Hoyo sits within Kruger National Park’s 10,000-hectare Mluwati Concession, a central region known for productive game viewing and mixed savanna landscapes. Shaded by mature trees and set near seasonal watercourses, the lodge often sees elephant and plains game moving through. Most guests fly to Skukuza or Hoedspruit and continue by road transfer to the private concession.
Rooms
Six circular, Tsonga-style “beehive” suites feature earth-toned walls, tapered thatch roofs, and king beds under mosquito nets. Each is air-conditioned and includes an en-suite bathroom with a deep, antique-style tub and separate shower, plus a private deck for quiet wildlife watching. Interiors combine handcrafted detail with simple comforts for a restful under-thatched ambience.
Facilities
The main area includes a lounge and bar leading to outdoor dining spaces and a boma for fireside evenings. A swimming pool offers welcome relief on warm afternoons between drives. Cuisine blends local flavors with familiar favorites, and dietary preferences can be accommodated with notice. Wi-Fi is typically available in common areas, preserving a relaxed, nature-first atmosphere.
