  • A dreamlike place for an unforgettable honeymoon

    We spent our honeymoon at The Wild Blue Lodge in Hoedspruit and could not have wished for a more beautiful place for it. From the personal and warm welcome to the check-out, simply everything was perfect. We were really thrilled and would come back anytime!

    We had an amazing stay at the lodge the food was amazing and Chris and Tony made the stay very enjoyable always friendly making a great atmosphere. All of us felt warmly welcomed and the knowledge Tony had during the bush walk was superb. The only regret is that we didn’t stay for longer. It was a great stay and would definitely recommend to anyone!

  • Fabuleux

    Tout ! L accueil de notre gentille hôte et de la chef cuisinière. Le petit déjeuner et le dîner étaient fabuleux. La piscine tellement agréable… Notre tente avec baignoire sur la terrasse était parfaite. Juste un regret : ne pas avoir eu le temps de profiter des massages au spa !

  • Perfect verblijf in de natuur

    Echt een fantastische plek midden in de natuur. Het huisje was super comfortabel met een heerlijk bed en douche. Veel wildlife om je heen en een heerlijk zwembad. Het eten was trouwens echt ongelofelijk lekker, chapeau voor de chef! Personeel was super. Echt een aanrader dit!
