Hippo Hollow Country Estate is a relaxing getaway destination in the Lowveld, with the convenience of being close to Kruger National Park and the activities and attractions of Mpumalanga. When it comes to Hazyview lodges & hotels, you can’t go wrong choosing Hippo Hollow for a family holiday or a romantic bush escape.

Hippo Hollow offers many facilities and services adding to the comfort of your stay. The hotel is set on a beautiful Country Estate with lush gardens, a river and 2 swimming pools. This is an environment that will leave any nature lover enthralled, and offers the perfect respite after a day of game drives exploring the beautiful Lowveld or a productive conference.

The recently refurbished restaurant and public spaces exude warmth and charm, captivating visitors with its vibrant ambience from the moment of arrival. The exquisite Afro-chic décor is a visual delight, showcasing meticulous attention to detail and unique art pieces throughout.

These vibrant spaces seamlessly blend a reception area, a cosy lounge, chill spaces, an elegant bar, and the Hippo Hollow Restaurant with large sliding doors opening onto an expansive deck which overlooks the picturesque Sabie River. Here, guests can relax and enjoy watching hippo graze on the lawn while sipping on cocktails and indulging in delicious South African cuisine.

Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are served daily either buffet-style or from a regularly updated à la carte menu featuring innovative ways to highlight local seasonal ingredients. Meals are paired with fine South African wines from the cellar. Picnic lunches are available on request for day trips into the park.

In comparison to other Hazyview lodges & hotels, our conference and banqueting venues on site can cater for up to 80 delegates (cinema style) in an environment conducive to creative thinking. Delegates also have a choice of convenient accommodation options to suit their preferences. Keeping in touch with loved ones, or staying on top of business can be done with complimentary Wi-Fi in our covered lounge or using the conference room.

Take off from the comfort of Hippo Hollow to explore more of Mpumalanga and enjoy a helicopter flight through the Blyde River Canyon with Mpumalanga Helicopter Co..
