A
unique earthy traditional Tsonga village set on the banks of the
Mluwati River. Six luxurious huts are nestled around a central
village boma and linked by sand pathways through the natural bush.
Vast plains extend to the North providing excellent game viewing
opportunities. The result is a staggering explosion of ethnic
luxury encompassing both warmth and style.
The legendary boma feast hosted by the resident Shangaan chief
is absolutely unique. Guests have an opportunity to take a glimpse
into the culture and lifestyle of the Shangaan people via pan-African
dining under the stars while being entertained by traditional
dance, storytelling and sangoma introductions. Hoyo-Hoyo Traditional
Village is situated near Hoedspruit in the Limpopo Province and
is considered a world class lodge in the wild. It is located within
the world-renowned Kruger National Park which offers a wildlife
experience that ranks with the best in Africa. Best known for
the 'Big Five' - Lion, Elephant, Leopard, Buffalo and Rhino -
the Kruger Park is truly the flagship of Africa and South Africa's
game reserves. Established in 1898 to protect the wildlife of
the South African Lowveld, this national park of nearly 2 million
hectares, is unrivalled in the diversity of its life forms and
a world leader in advanced environmental management techniques
and policies.
Kruger
is home to an impressive number of species: 336 trees, 49 fish,
34 amphibians, 114 reptiles, 507 birds and 147 mammals. Man's
interaction with the Lowveld environment over many centuries -
from bushman rock paintings to majestic archaeological sites like
Masorini and Thulamela - is very evident in the Kruger National
Park. These treasures represent the cultures, persons and events
that played a role in the history of the Kruger and are conserved
along with the park's natural assets.
The Kruger National Park is a savanna region, with a mixture of
trees and grassland. Six permanent rivers flow through the park
- the Crocodile, Letaba, Luvuvhu, Olifants, Sabie, and Shingwidzi.
Denser subtropical forest occurs along these rivers and provides
an important habitat for wildlife.
There are no restricting fences between the Private Game Reserves
and the Kruger National Park, so exciting wildlife encounters
in the open veld are the order of the day, and game viewing here
is truly a spectacular experience. Watch in absolute awe and wonder
as a lion stalks its prey, or at a cheetah chasing fleeing antelope
at breathtaking speed. You might come across the Park's big and
tall, the gigantic and stately Elephant, and gaze at the dizzying
height of Africa's tallest creature, the Giraffe.
