Bungalow

Hippoview Chalet on river/ Krüger


If you want to experience 'real' Africa, this is your chance.

The bungalow is located in a small-scale game park "Ekuthuleni", with 24-hour security. The house overlooks the mighty Elephant River, is surrounded by the bush and is close to the Kruger Park. It is a 5 1/2 drive from Johannesburg and a 1/2 drive from the airport in Hoedspruit.
The beautiful, peaceful location is great for nature and bird lovers. Hippos and crocodiles can be seen almost daily from the terrace. Wildebeest, zebras and Impala graze on the grass behind the bungalows at night. Sometimes lions, leopards, or wild dogs are spotted.
A stay here is a true African Bush experience! The nature sounds are actually indescribable.
Day trips to Kruger, Blyde River Canyon and the Panorama route are easy to do from the bungalow, as well as many other activities in the area. Hoedspruit (24 km) is a cozy place with many restaurants and shops. A nice restaurant on the river is 5 km away.

You stay in a nice detached bungalow, generous for 4 people. There are still 2 sleeping places in the loft, but we only rent them in special cases. You have the entire house at your disposal on the basis of self-catering.

The house has a beautiful view of the Olifants river and is surrounded by large trees. The main bedroom has a King size bed and an en-suite bathroom. The second bedroom has 2 single beds and there is a separate second bathroom. Both bedrooms have a view of the river. The bedrooms have air conditioning and a fan.
The living room has a large corner sofa and dining table. The TV has many satellite channels including BVN. There is wifi that can be activated by us on request.
The kitchen is fully equipped for self-catering with a stove and oven, fridge / freezer combination, a dishwasher and microwave, and equipped with crockery, pans, and kitchen linen.

Because we mainly live outside, for us the "eye catcher" is the terrace on the river side. This new extra large terrace (115 m²) with its own swimming pool / splash pool, patio furniture and a BBQ area. In September, a communal large swimming pool will also be installed at the park.
The wildlife, the river, and the open swimming pool and balustrade of this bungalow are not suitable for children under 12 years of age.

Since 2006 we come back to South Africa every year because we have become "addicted" to nature, the animals, the space, the outdoors, the special country. After renting a house near Ekuthuleni for several months, we have now bought our own paradise. We live in our house twice a year for several months and we rent it out for the rest of the time. It is an exciting and yet very relaxed environment. The only risk for new guests is to also become addicted.

Additional information

To see and do: Hoedspruit Eastgate is the nearest airport and is approximately 35 km. From Hoedspruit to the south on the R40, follow the signs. You can rent a car at this airport or in Hoedspruit itself. Hoedspruit is a town and is about 25 km to the south on the R40 and has various stores such as supermarkets (Pick n Pay, Spar) clothing stores, galleries, gas stations, hardware stores. Also don't forget Kamogelo; a center with tourist shops, galleries and restaurants. You are also at the right address for photo items. The closest gas station is about 10 km north on the N40 in the direction of Phalaborwa and is called: Sameys. You will also find a shop with the first necessities of life here. Kruger National Park , https://www.sanparks.org, our cottage is located in the vicinity of two entrances of this beautiful game park: Phalaborwa about 40 minutes drive and Orpen 60 minutes. You can make trips with your own (rental) car. It is also possible to book guided safaris. Do that in advance. Good restaurants in the area are: Three Bridges less than 10 minutes' drive away, Hat and Creek and Sleepers in Hoedspruit, The Thirsty Giraffe 5 km before Hoedspruit (a donkey can appear at the table). A bit further away is 24 Degrees South, a garden restaurant (also seats inside) with a number of tourist shops and even an exhibition of classic cars and motorbikes. Blue Mountain is a restaurant on Blyde Wildlife Estate and has beautiful mountain views. Talking about views; Mariepskop is a viewpoint at almost 2000 meters height near Klaserie. In clear weather you have fantastic views, but you must have access to a car with sufficient ground clearance because the road to it is, uh ... quite rough. With a normal passenger car: don't. https://hoedspruit.net/tours/mariepskop-mountain-view-point/ The Panorama route: is worth a day trip. A tourist highlight of South Africa with views of the Blyde River and the 3 Rondavels and tourist attractions such as Burke's Luck Potholes and God's windows. The old gold digger town of Pelgrim's Rest can also be visited. info: https://homesofafrica.com/nl/zuid-afrika/panoramaroute/ A boat trip on the Blyde river is definitely worth it. Here you see the three Rondavels from a different point of view, from below. (reservation required) https://blydecanyon.activitar.com/services/846) Hoedspruit Endangered Species Center (on the N40 south of Hoedspruit) and Moholoholo Rehabilitation Center (towards Kampersrus) are centers dedicated to the protection of the game: Shelter and, if possible, relocation to nature. Excursions are organized here. https://hesc.co.za/ and www.moholoholo.co.za/ Jessica de Hippo, nowhere do you get so close to a hippo living in nature. She is free to go wherever she wants but "tame" in the sense that she allows herself to be fed and stroked under supervision. On the way back, take a look at the large Baobab tree that is being referred to. http://www.jessicahippo.com/ Kinyonga reptile center, if you like snakes. 15 km from Hoedspruit on the R527 https://www.kinyonga.net/ There is a golf course in Hoedspruit: The Drakensig Golf Course On the first Saturday of the month there is a farmers market with fruit and vegetables, clothing, handicrafts, food (snacks) ) and tourist things a few km south of Hoedspruit on the R40.
