Fantastic trip, amazing guide and perfect location for safari

The location was amazing and we saw elephants come to the watering hole behind the lodge which was incredible. The guide Jay was exceptional, he was super knowledgeable and passionate which made the game drives so fun each day. He went above and beyond each day to ensure we all had a great day, highly recommend him as a guide (5 star). The food was delicious and it was nice to have an opportunity to eat with the guide one evening and there was a selection of choices for each meal, and made to order breakfast when we returned from the morning game drive.

The rooms could be a little lighter in colour (as it was quite dark and the lights didnt really help) and more plugs near the bed. The staff were great but at times during the day, they were not always easy to find to order drinks etc. The pool was freezing cold and quite murky so this could definitely be improved but overall an amazing trip.

Saw a lot more than on my last trip to Kruger. Decent food and drink with comfy and massive beds! Well organised so highly recommended and good value for money vs other lodges!

Really comfortable rooms / beds. The outdoor shower was a nice feature as well. The dinner experience as well as breakfast were amazing. Also, the staff is always ready to help.

The safari / game drive was a bit slow

Truly Magical Stay. Memories that will last a lift time.

Everything! We fell in love we hoyohoyo! Exceptional place. The staff (Given, Moshe, Calvin, Harold, chefs ) were incredibly friendly and couldnt do enough for us! It felt like paradise. Food felt like we were dining at a Michelin Star restaurant. Diverse menu so catered for all. The watering hole adds such a unique element to the lodge. We felt so fortunate to be so close to nature and to see all the animals come by each day.

Do not look any further, the Hoyo Hoyo resort is the best stay!

What a great experience we had at the Hoyo Hoyo resort! I loved the architecture of the resort, the food ( best we had in all South Africa!) and the service and the staff, very welcoming and engaging! We stayed only 1 night but I would really recommend at least 2, it is such a nice place! Special call out to Jayden for the great gamedrives, it was really interesting and fun!

Amazing place, incredible people!

(this is a review for Imbali Safari Lodge as we have been allocated there on our arrival at Hoyo Hoyo) It was unforgettable and magical! We initially booked Hoyo Hoyo for 3 nights for our honeymoon, but on arrival, we were informed that we had been relocated to Imbali, only 10 minutes away. At Imbali, we found out that we were the only guests for the night, and that was a great surprise. From the first minute, we were treated like royalty, everyone looked after us so well. We did the check-in, left our belongings in our room, went for a Safari, and, on arrival back, were surprised with a very nice and private dinner on the deck looking at the pond. The day after, even with the arrival of more people, the hospitality remained the same quality throughout our whole stay. Andrew, our ranger for the 3 days we stayed there, was amazing! Very knowledgeable, engaging, truly respects and loves the wildlife, and makes the best hot chocolate with Amarula on the stop for a morning break in the savanna. Mary, the manager who checked us in and looked after us most of our stay, was always lovely and engaging, making sure we were having the best experience. Golden, France and all the team of people that work there were always lovely, going above and beyond. On the first morning we were there, we went to the main lodge to watch the elephants at the pond and France came with snacks, and offered us drinks and mimosas and everything. Later on, when we had already returned to the room, they gave us a call to inform us that another group of animals arrived there, so we wouldn't miss it. They were also always engaging, it was always a pleasure to talk to them and get to know them. Martha, who did my massage, is amazing! The food is outstanding (congratulations to the amazing chefs there!), everywhere is always clean and smells fresh, the rooms are incredible! The place is unreal, but what made it so special for us was the incredible people working there!
