Hippo Hollow Country Estate

Nestling on the banks of the Sabi River, Hippo Hollow is 10 minutes from the Kruger National Park and 35 minutes from Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport. Located in a spectacular setting, Hippo Hollow is an ideal base for exploring the Panorama Route. Accommodation comprises 20 two-bedded and 17 four-bedded thatched en-suite semi-self-catering chalets and 26 hotel rooms with private balconies. The balconies overlook the Sabi River and the picturesque gardens, which contain two swimming-pools. An à la carte restaurant offers fine cuisine, accompanied by a selection of South African wines from the wine cellar. A range of activities such as scenic helicopter flights, white-river-rafting, open-vehicle safaris into the Kruger National Park, kloofing, abseiling and golf can be arranged. Hippo Hollow in conjunction with the local community have come together to provide a “Feast of Culture”. The Shangana River Club Boma offers not just a meal but a blend of history and entertainment under the African Night Sky.
