Hippo Pools resort offers a range of self catering accommodation, from luxurious riverside houses, nestled on the banks of the Olifants River, to smaller rooms at the resort. The houses all have private swimming pools and bomas looking onto the river.
All of our rooms and houses are serviced daily, and coffee and tea making facilities are provided.
We can offer meals for our guests, we serve large breakfasts and snacks daily in the Tea garden and dinners can be booked if required - including private braais at your unit for total privacy and relaxation.
We have a private tarred airstrip for aviators, small chapel for weddings, and we cater for year end functions.
The resort has many visitors, including wild hippo, crocodile, waterbuck, warthog, honey badgers, as well as fantastic birdlife. We offer a convenient base for exploring the many attractions in the Hoedspruit area - from the Kruger Park to Silk farms and animal rehabilitation centres.
