The Wild Dog Inn Guest Lodge is situated on the greenbelt of Hoedspruit Wildlife Estate, a conserved 680ha reserve that lies at the foot of the Klein Drakensberg Mountain escarpment, between the Blyde River Valley and Kruger National Park.

 

This exclusive estate’s pristine lowveld bush is home to a splendid array of plants, birds and animals. Impala, kudu, zebra, waterbuck, giraffe and wildebeest graze peacefully, while stocky warthogs and busy banded mongoose search for food. Hyena and leopard sightings also occur within the Estate, while nocturnal creatures operate with their highly developed senses during the magical starred African nights.

 

Wild Dog Inn Guest Lodge offers two modern one-bedroom self-catering guest cottages. The cottages have recently been transformed with a fresh new interior look, which will offer guests the most elegant and pleasant stay. Both cottages are air-conditioned, have a private patio and offer a high level of privacy with their own entrances. Guests can enjoy their meals at the dining table or relax in the lounge.
