The helicopter scenic flights from the hotel is definitely unique service. ##### Nicu Catalin ### 8/10 Good #### Moipane Oct 9, 2021 Liked: Staff & service, amenities Add tv ##### Moipane Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rebekah Dec 20, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Highly recommend Hippo Hollow Hotel. Hippo Hollow was a excellent hotel. Staff was amazing and provided excellent customer service. We stayed 8 nights and after the first day, they knew what drinks we wanted and other preferences. We stayed in a delectable chalet and the room the beautiful, but the view was the best part. We saw elephant and hippos everyday. Wonderful location, 15 min drive to Kruger. Restaurant was delicious. ![View of elephants from our balcony ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/CBE0F0ADD515E59CB447FBCFC99974FFA37268341576845628500.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![This guy lives on the grounds with his family. ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/0FC4BD06F5D3DB25BA34143E088FECFBC4D0F9061576845635455.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Room and service was excellent](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/70411B43D08C86430B3C5AE4C1CB30C4683954C51576845643884.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Nice pool area](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/CE1BA547159FB11D30897DAB2FD2FBB03A540E111576845692203.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Rebekah Stayed 8 nights in Dec 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Robert Nov 12, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Wonderful atmosphere, great food, lovely views and a very pleased experience. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/109CCEE13B23486AFFB27AFF5E0AB2AD5A460FB81573537073860.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Robert Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Abraham Aug 25, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Excellent place to stay.Close to the Kruger Park. We were pleasantly surprised. The hotel is beautiful and the room comfortable. The staff was friendly and helpful. The food in the restaurant was excellent and the service we received was superb. Every member of the staff went out of their way to make matters more pleasant for us. The one lady in the restaurant,Martha, was a star.She quickly noticed that my wife and I were older people (well on our way to our eighties) and she insisted that we remain at our table whilst she dished up for us. She is an asset for the hotel. The security man at the main entrance was also a very helpful and friendly man. We can recommend this establishment to all and everybody.

The place is really amazing and is located in a really good area. Also the people that works there is really nice, but they were completely helpless since the very beginning. I've mailed them to ask them if they can help me to arrive and if they could help me with some tours options but they never answer. Once we arrived, every tour we booked trough them was tricky (with the price, if lunch was included or not, etc.) and when we asked them to look for us a shuttle to our next destination, they didn't make a big effort to help us either. I still think that being such a luxury and expensive accommodation, It's unforgivable that they have not taken care of us properly, but if you are able to managed by yourself, 100% recommendable. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### CHARIECE Oct 14, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Kruger Park Short Stay Quality 3 star short stay establishment . This is a decent basic hotel. It's good for a 2 or 3 night stay while visiting Kruger Park or the Hazyview area. It's clean, safe and convenient. The rooms/décor are outdated but in good condition. Restaurant is nice with good service and good food and variety.

We were told that the reason was a systems error. This is a really bad reflection on your website. I will think twice before using the application to book. I was wondering which friend or family member received my room at Hippo Hollow. What was done was ethically wrong. I am not sure what the rates are and whether we paid extra to stay at Perry Bridge Hollow. I will think twice before I go to any Seasons in Africa Hotel. I wanted to stay at Hippo Hollow not another establishment. ##### Kathleen Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Aug 5, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Tolle Unterkunft, gute Lage, freundliches Personal! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Felix, Lidingö, Swe Jul 8, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Calm resort style lodge Nicely situated on a river bank and quite close to the southern part of Kruger. We stayed for one night on our way from JNB to a tented camp close to Skukuza. The food and service was good thru-out. The only dispointment was that I (with certainty) forgot a pair of binoculars on the room. When we went back to the hotel. No one seemed to remember having seen it. ##### Felix Stayed 1 night in Jul 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rodrigo Feb 19, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Ótimo Hotel Ótimo Hotel, quarto estilo chalé amplo, era bem limpo e com tudo funcional, o staff do hotel é otimo, o restaurante tem ótimas comidas e a vista é bem legal.

Vi boede i fire hytter i have-området. Hytterne var pæne og rene, og sengene var gode med hårde madrasser. Restauranten serverer dejlig mad, og vi så flodheste græsse på området omkring restauranten flere aftener. Jeg havde læst hjemmefra, at folk var generet af larm fra busser om morgenen. Vi kunne sagtens høre busserne, men det var ikke forstyrrende for os. Hotellet ligger i fin afstand fra Panorama-ruten (20 minutters kørsel til Graskop og ca. halvanden time til Three Rondavels). ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/s1559-pcef88be0-7c07-11e7-916f-92bb44d4284a-original.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/s1583-pd3293d40-7c07-11e7-a58e-2ab4820f5e46-original.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Britt Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2017 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Secrets Riviera Cancún All Preferred - Adults Only - All inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Puerto-Morelos-Hotels-Secrets-Riviera-Cancun-Resort-Spa.h60043197.Hotel-Information) > > [EST Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels-EST-Hotel.h26593486.Hotel-Information) > > [Paradise Bay Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Mellieha-Hotels-Paradise-Bay-Resort.h691966.Hotel-Information) > > [Days Inn by Wyndham Montreal East](https://www.expedia.ca/Montreal-Hotels-Days-Inn-By-Wyndham-Montreal-East.h3373978.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Garden Inn Montreal Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Montreal-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-Montreal-Airport.h971179.Hotel-Information) > > [Casino Hotels in Palm Springs](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Casino-Hotel.0-0-d180676-tCasinoHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Westmount Motel](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Westmount-Motel.h9544929.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Nissan Stadium](https://www.expedia.ca/Nissan-Stadium-Hotels.0-l6058092-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Cottages Ontario](https://www.expedia.ca/Ontario-Cottages.d11178-aaCottages.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Motel 6 Mississauga, ON - Toronto](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels-Motel-6-Mississauga.h1037673.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Rome](https://www.expedia.ca/Rome-Hotels.d179899.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Nanton](https://www.expedia.ca/Nanton-Hotels.d3000369848.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Jag Boutique Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Johns-Hotels-Jag-Boutique-Hotel.h10090079.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Delhi (DEL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/del/toronto-to-delhi) > > [Condor](https://www.expedia.ca/Condor-Flights.cDE.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Fairbanks (FAI)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/fai/toronto-to-fairbanks) > > [WestJet Toronto (YYZ) to Mérida (MID) flights](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flight-routes/westjet-from-pearson-intl-to-manuel-crescencio-rejon-intl/ws/yyz/mid) > > [Flair Airlines Calgary (YYC) to Vancouver (YVR) flights](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flight-routes/flair-airlines-from-calgary-intl-to-vancouver-intl/f8/yyc/yvr) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Las Vegas (LAS)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/las/toronto-to-las-vegas) > > [Flights from Narita (NRT) to Vancouver (YVR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/nrt/yvr/tokyo-to-vancouver) > > [Flights from Goffs (YHZ) to Edmonton (YEG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yhz/yeg/halifax-to-edmonton) > > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Karachi (KHI)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/khi/calgary-to-karachi) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Miami (MIA)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/mia/toronto-to-miami) > > [Flights from Pearson Intl. to TYO-All Airports](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/tyo/toronto-to-tokyo) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Koromiko (PCN)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/pcn/toronto-to-picton) ### Cars > [Budget Car Rentals In Niagara Falls](https://www.expedia.ca/Budget-Car-Rentals-In-Niagara-Falls.d6023515-c39.Car-Rental-Guide-Suppliers) > > [Car rentals in Halifax](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Halifax.d602873.Car-Rental-Guide) > > [Car rentals in Orlando](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Orlando-Intl.d5194573.Car-Rental-Guide) > > [Car rentals in Italy](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Italy.d86.Car-Rental-Destinations)
