Disliked: Staff & service, room comfort
Shocking experience. Price tag not justified!
The only thing luxury about this stay was the price-tag attached. We and another couple were the only guests due to the flooding in Kruger. Until the day of our arrival, we were not advised if we could actually stay… despite checking with Hoyo Hoyo on every possible channel. The service was shocking. The staff clearly did not care about us. For example, our waiter forgot between our starter and mains that we were both vegetarian… At other times we could not find staff to assist us when we had questions. One small positive were the game drives. Hali (our driver) clearly was passionate about his job. Having stayed at several properties with a similar price tag in national parks both South Africa and other places in Africa, this was by far the worst experience and not the luxury promised by Hoyo Hoyo in its advertising.

The stay was amazing. The service was astounding, Harold made us feel welcome and the star of the stay was Given. He catered to all of our needs. The rooms where always clean, the food was bewildering and the game drives were spectacular. Shaun is an amazing tour guide.

One of the coolest places I’ve stayed. The property was gorgeous with the deck overlooking a watering hole, so you get to watch elephants and other animals that come in to drink while you’re having dinner. Our hut was gorgeous and the staff are extremely helpful and welcoming.

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The property lied about their amenities. They claim on the internet and with operators to have Wifi and they do not have wifi, not even a land line. If you need to stay in touch with family, your kids back home or work or your business it is impossible. The staff lies and does not want to help. We had to leave the hotel, go back to Kings Camp, and loose our money. They do not consider it fraud to lie to their clients and did not want to refund. In our 6 people group some had kids back home as small as 6 years old and some our own business and payments to make and work. It was impossible for us to stay.

It was a fantastic experience, the staff were incredibly helpful and friendly, the food was good, having a beer whilst looking at a herd of elephants drinking at the watering hole opposite the lodge was a particular highlight and the outside shower was not an all together unpleasant experience!

Safari with added Tsongan culture.
Amazing safari stay at Hoyo Hoyo. In addition to the amazing safari, partaking in the local Tsongan culture gave an added experience to the stay. There were no distractions like wifi or TVs. The hospitality of the Tsongan staff, the nature and the always present fauna kept you company.

A really nice private logde in the Kruger park. The rooms are cosy with a big bed, outdoor shower and a nice terasse facing a dry river, really friendly staff and nice food, the safari experience is superb and the guides are very good. A place we will certainly visit again if possible. Hoyohoyo means welcome and we did feel very welcome.

Hoyo Hoyo!
We had a wonderful stay at Hoyo Hoyo. The service is incredible. Since there are only a few rooms at Hoyo Hoyo you get very attentive personal service. Ralph and Given made it fun with their quirkiness and funny sayings as they served us food and drinks. The lodge is very nice and we could stay for hours watching the animals line up at the watering hole. Elephant, buffalo, wildebeest, warthog, monkeys, civet, antelope and parrots all visited for a drink! There were however, a ton of bees in the area and it did make eating lunch a bit annoying, but you are in the bush! The room was nice, but there is only an outside shower. We showered in the afternoon when it was warmer so it was fine. We came to Hoyo Hoyo from Sabi Sands so it may be a little unfair to compare, but it is worth noting a few things. At Sabi Sands you have a tracker & guide which not only makes the game drives more exciting, you feel like your chances of seeing the big 5 or something unique are greatly improved. Not having a tracker seemed like we were relying on the radio to find something or just plain luck. It is also harder for the guide to drive and look for animals. Our guide was very knowledgeable, but he seemed to lack the go-getter mentality we experienced in Sabi Sands. Everything was a little bit slower and there wasn't the eagerness to find animals like we experienced in Sabi Sands. Overall we had a great experience and stay at Hoyo Hoyo.

Amazing stay in Kruger parc
When we arrived at the Hoyo hoyo we felt immediately extremely welcome. (Hoyo hoyo means welcome). The people are so friendly and the service is superb. The food and drinks are great. In the lodge you stay like how the locals use to stay in the bush, but with all the luxury. There's no Wifi or phone coverage, but that's actually a relief. They use radios to give you a wake up call in the morning. If you desperate need wifi you can go to the sister lodge which is only 7 km away. The lodge is in the middle of Kruger parc and is not surrounded by a fence. At night they escort you to and from your lodge to the main building. There're many wild animals around the lodge. They made a drinking pool in front of the viewing / dining terrace, where often elephants will drink. At night you definite will hear the hyaena sing. The morning and evening safaris are great. There're not many tourist in the neighbourhood so you will not be watching the wildlife with too many other cars.
