Your home from home in the Greater Kruger

Enough places and spaces for you to unwind in...

​There’s nothing like arriving at your chosen holiday destination and feeling instantly at home! That’s what we pride ourselves on here at Ekhaya – which means “home” in Zulu!


You don’t have to mind your Ps and Qs, or put on airs and graces – just relax, kick off your shoes, lay back on the couch and watch the TV or listen to some great African tunes on the music system, read a book, pour yourself a drink from our honesty bar and generally make yourself at home!


We’ve got more than enough places and spaces for you to unwind in, from our lovely deck and rim-flow pool to our shady sala in the garden, where you’ll find a comfy day bed overlooking the surrounding bush.


Or indulge in a siesta in your gorgeous air-conditioned suite, snuggling down for 40 winks or so on your soft, plump bed. We can also arrange a massage or spa therapy session for you in the comfort of your room, if you wish.


And when you’re tired of all that rest, we’ll feed you! Our meals are all home-cooked and prepared using fresh, local ingredients by our chefs.


If lounging around “at home” gets too much for you, we can arrange a variety of great activities for you taking in the very best of the Greater Kruger region, from game viewing in the legendary Kruger National Park to exploring the amazing landscapes of the Panorama Route.


Or hire a mountain bike and explore Hoedspruit Wildlife Estate on two wheels!


The bottom line is enjoyment. And having the time of your life! See you soon!
