Hippo Hollow Country Estate

This hotel was fabulous, we loved the size of the rooms, and the double shower was amazing. The pool area was relaxing and the staff served drinks to us there. We had a ceiling fan which kept the room cool and there was also air conditioning, which we didn't need. The bed was very comfortable and I slept very well there. It was lovely being able to sit in the dining area and watch the hippos in the evenings - what an experience. The hotel is set within easy reach of Kruger Game Reserve and The Elephant Whisperer experience. The food was lovely and there was always a good selection available. Staff were welcoming and friendly, especially a lovely lady called Pinky, who always had a smile, and was really welcoming. I would highly recommend this hotel and would definitely stay there again x

We were booked two nights at this place for work year end function. It was such a perfect venue just to wind down the year's fatigue. As soon as one gets into the property you smell relaxation the air tells one that you're here to relax 😌 The rooms are big enough with enough space in the bathroom. Very important the aircorn came in handy as it was very hot. I didn't enjoy the food on the first but oh my oh my on the second at the Boma the chef was showing off 😁 the food was so delicious 😋 the restaurant manager Thato really looked after us. My only disappointment is that I didn't see the Hippos as I heard that they come through the waters by the restaurant, I guess 🤷 next time

Hippo Hollow is a restaurant in a hotel complex in a wonderful setting backing into the Sabie River. As the name suggests, there is a food chance of seeing hippos - and we did. We saw a large solo hippo and then a mother/baby. As for the food it was nice enough without being exceptional and the service was very good. I would definitely recommend eating here
