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

This was the most wonderful place to stay, lodge itself was gorgeous and spacious and the staff were incredibly attentive. Food out of this world. And add to that views of hippo, crocs and elephants from balcony - 5star!

We had a very nice stay in our little house surrounded by nature. Food was average and buffet style. Drinks ok and the service average (slow) as almost everywhere in South Africa. Not cheap but in Hazyview the location is perfect. No hippo’s. I can not believe that they are frequently seen at this river location, more a advertisement.

We dined twice at the Hippo Hollow Country Estate restaurant. A colorful menu with succulent African game dishes (skewered crocodile tail, kudu fillet). A relaxed a**osphere - the river with hippos right next to it. A real pleasure.

What an amazing little place. I loved it here could have stayed a few more days. This was part of our SA tour stayed here for Kruger. Take a torch as lights go off for two hrs every night and it's pitch black only light is in hotel area. Prices reasonable breakfast buffet very good pizzas yummy and scenery just stunning. There is nowhere to go and no taxis come here stayed three nights.

Our recent trip to Hippo Hollow Country Estate was one of our Memorable holidays. From arrival to departure we were treated with the u**ost friendliness and professionalism from all the staff! My son was treated like a King with every Breakfast and was made sure he was comfortable and relaxed as well, they really went out of their way to make him happy! And then there is not even talking about the most beautiful views and relaxing and tranquil a**osphere with Elephants and Hippos on your doorstep. I would definitely recommend Hippo Hollow for your next trip. If you don't believe me try them for yourself!

This resort far.exceeded expectations! It's a fantastic place, beautiful, the cottage is super characteristic as well as cared for down to the smallest details. Even the hairdryer is already attached! The restaurant overlooks the river and it's lovely to eat there, I loved the breakfast buffet. Unfortunately we didn't see hippos or crocodiles, we waited but they didn't pass, we need luck!

The staff were really nice and helpful. The food at the restaurant was very tasteful! We even saw some baby hippo’s at night in the river! The beds are huge, Wich I was really nice. The rooms are also very clean. The whole vibe & scenery of this hotel is lovely and a true African experience.
