Everything was wonderful- the owner was very nice and the guest lodge we stayed in was amazing- wildlife all around.
Hervorragende Unterkunft im Hoedspruit Wildlife Estate. Die Gastgeber sind sehr freundlich und machen den Aufenthalt zu einem Highlight. Die Cottages sind mit allem ausgestattet, was benötigt wird, inklusive Küche. Tolle Einkaufsmöglichkeiten und leckere Restaurants sind gleich um die Ecke. Ich komme immer wieder sehr gerne. Absolute Empfehlung.
El lugar es idílico, una pequeña reserva en la que disfrutar de los animales. Sin olvidar a los anfitriones que son encantadores. Que rico el desayuno y que bien presentado
A perfect position in Hoedspruit Wildlife Estate, surrounded by African bushveld. This is a very spacious, well equipped self catering unit. The owners are very friendly and helpful. They kindly allowed us a late check out as we were doing an early morning wildlife experience on departure day (Endangered Wildlife Centre cheetah focus tour which was wonderful). We enjoyed morning walks among zebra, warthogs and impala on the estate. I would love to stay here again.
We had a wonderful stay at Wild Dog Inn. Rina and Mac and the 2 little doggies are excellent hosts. Loved our apartment, used the braai each night, cooked breakfasts each morning, went cycling through the estate with Rina's 2 bikes, just a wonderful relaxing 5 days. The bird life is amazing, we were woken up each day at 5.30 with a cacophony of different birds singing. We heard the hyenas each night whilst we were braaing and also heard the lions the first night far in the distance. We will definitely be back.
