Unforgettable experience ! Total immersion in the bush, so close to the animals. The game drives were amazing, our guides were so passionate and they taught us so much about the animals. The food was delicious ! We didn’t want leave …

Everything was perfect from start to finish — from Victoria’s kindness to Johnathan, who was an excellent guide during our safaris. The place is stunning and the food is excellent. You can go there with complete confidence.

The place is absolutely beautiful and the staff is amazing. The twice a day game drives are great, we saw a lot of animals, including rhinos and lions. Our guide Sydney was excellent in tracking the animals. The food in Milima is really good!

Our experience at Muweti was absolutely unforgettable. Mike and Laura were the kindest, most welcoming people who made our honeymoon feel so special. We made lifelong friends and were experienced nature like never before. Visits to lion families, elephants visiting us at the pool. We can’t wait to go back!

The property was very good, had great facilities such as a nice pool area and the honesty bar. The staff were amazing and really made us feel like family. We even went out for a meal with them on our final evening. Bianca the chef was amazing, all her meals were so good and diverse. Selby our game driver was the best we could’ve asked for, he was amazing at spotting all the animals and taught us so much, was a genuinely nice guy aswell. We already want to come back and will miss all of the staff. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting to do a safari. We had a perfect experience. The hospitality was amazing aswell, they really do all the little details that made our trip so good.

The stay at Nyati Safari Lodge was absolutely incredible! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the lodge's stunning surroundings and the warm welcoming of the staff. The rooms were beautifully decorated and provided a cozy retreat after thrilling game drives- the highlight of my stay. The experienced guides took us on unforgettable journeys through the African wilderness, where we encountered magnificent wildlife up close. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay unforgettable. Their attention to detail and personalized service made us feel truly special. The dining experience was exceptional. The culinary team prepared mouthwatering meals that showcased both local flavors and international cuisine. Each meal was a delightful fusion of taste and presentation, leaving us truly impressed.

A Truly Unforgettable Stay in Hoedspruit! We had the most incredible 4-night stay at Wild dog guest lodge, a villa inside a wildlife estate in Hoedspruit. From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the host-Vicky and Henro’s genuine kindness, attention to detail, and heartfelt hospitality. Every interaction felt sincere, thoughtful, and welcoming. The villa itself is spacious, clean, beautifully designed, and equipped with everything you could possibly need. The bedrooms are comfortable, the layout is well thought out, and every function of the home—from the kitchen to the outdoor areas—made our stay very convenient. The peaceful, natural surroundings made this a perfect place to relax and unwind. During our stay, we spotted various wild animals just walking pass the villa—Nyala, Duiker, Warthogs—which made the experience feel even more magical and connected to nature. The breakfasts were fresh, delicious, and beautifully prepared with the animals, coming to the waterhole. On the morning we had an early game drive, the host even packed a gorgeous breakfast for us to take along. Really lovely breakfast during dame drive. We also booked all our game drive activities to Kruger and in Big 5 Game drive, through the host, and every experience exceeded our expectations and we met all big 5 and other more. From start to finish, everything was arranged perfectly, and we felt completely taken care of—even though we didn’t rent a car, everything was smooth and easy throughout our stay. This is a place we would return to in a heartbeat. If you’re looking for a serene, nature-filled, and wonderfully hosted stay in Hoedspruit, this Wilddog guest lodge is the perfect choice.
