Situated in Hoedspruit, Nyaleti Lodge is 70 km from the Orpen Gate and 79 km from the Phalaborwa Gate of Kruger National Park.

10/10 – Exceptional Stay at Nyaleti Lodge! Our experience at Nyaleti Lodge was nothing short of perfect. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with genuine warmth and outstanding hospitality. The villa itself is stunning—beautifully designed, immaculately clean, and incredibly comfortable. What truly sets Nyaleti apart is the attention to detail and the friendliness of the staff. Every interaction felt personal and sincere, making us feel right at home. The location is also ideal: perfectly situated near the Kruger Park, it’s a great base for a self-drive safari. On top of that, the lodge arranged some unforgettable game drives with top-notch guides. If you’re looking for a luxurious yet personal safari experience, Nyaleti Lodge is the place to be. We can’t wait to come back!

Our stay at Xavier's Hippo Moon Lodge was absolutely amazing, more than a stay, it was an experience. With great reviews and ratings so high, my partner and I were curious about the place - and we were so glad for the decision. Xavier, who we read so much about, is one of a kind in person. Entertaining, funny, wise and with life stories and experiences for days. We got amazing up close with his giraffe, and other game animals, and his army of loving dogs. The guesthouse itself is a work of art, with exquisite designs, artifacts, classic cars, and architecture in each room. We had the most amazing hospitality, food, and famous 5 course dinners cooked by Xavier himself. Our friends visiting Hoepsruit, also got to meet Xavier, and have an amazing dinner. All in all, this was the most memorable weekend we have had, and we hope to visit again. Thank you Xavier, Patricia, Pretty and the team HippoMoon- hope many more people get to have magic times at your lodge.

    A large house, plenty of room. Lovely gardens and pool with a mountain View. Great beds. The kitchen was really well equipped and functional. Quirky decorations made the house a bit interesting and fun. Really great hosts - helpful and there if you needed them but not intrusive. Seeing the zebras and the wilderbeast was also an added bonus.

    I like the fact that there are endless choices of activities and restaurants around the area. Mostly we loved how peaceful and quite the place is. Tegan is a great host, she deserves all the stars. Red Rock Villa is perfect with all things you need to complete a perfect vacation. It is a perfect place to reconnect with your partner. This is by far the best vacation experience for me.

    We loved the clean room. The bed is really comfortable, we enjoyed the outside shower and the seating area. We chose the wildlife estate (not a nature reserve out of town) because we wanted to be close to town to explore Hoedspruit for a day. We had not been to Hoedspruit for 2 years and wow did it change. We also did a nice walk in the estate, where we saw several residents biking and walking with their children and dogs. Martha was a lovely host and we wish her and her partner all the best with their safari business.

    This place was a real find. Helen was a lovely host and our triple room had everything we needed. It was clean, comfortable and fantastic value for money. It is set in an estate full of beautiful birds and wildlife. It's hard to believe that you spot giraffe and zebra minutes from town. Helen recommended eating at the Thursty Giraffe and the food was fantastic.

    DO NOT BOOK THIS PLACE! THEY TAKE YOUR MONEY AND THEN DO NOT HONOUR THE BOOKING. WE ARRIVED AFTER A 6 HOUR DRIVE WITH 4 YOUNG CHILDREN FROM GAUTENG ONLY TO FIND OUT THIS IS A SCAM - THE “Lodge” IS A PRIVATE RESIDENCE IN A PRIVATE WILDLIFE ESTATE THAT DOES NOT EVEN ALLOW SHORT TERM OR HOLODAY ACCOMMODATION, SECURITY DID NOT ALLOW US TO ENTER. THE HOSTS BLOCKED US ON WHATSAPP AND PHONE AND WE COULD NOT GET HOLD OF THEM AT ALL.

    The best part of Hoedspruit. Secure wildlife estate with lots of greens and vegetation. Well hosted by Marta. Beautiful Private home away from home with every appliance and information a family need for a great stay in Hoedspruit and the surrounding. 100% Cleanliness, secluded and private outdoor shower. Fantastic garden with outdoor dining, seating, a fire pit, a braai stand, a pool, big trees and a game view. Thank you, we loved it!
