hippomoon lodge game reserve

What a place! Something you see very rarely! Xavier is one of the best guest person I ever met, he has done everything we wished for. Location, Animals, his dogs, everything was een experience never to forget

The style, interior, the whole house!

Super séjour dans un cadre exceptionnel et un hôte hors pair. Nous avons passé un excellent moment en famille, dégusté des plats maisons délicieux entourés d’animaux. Étape recommandée !

We had a wonderfull stay. We did get a upgrade in room and may sleep in the Presidential Suite. Xavier welcomed us in a wonderful and friendly way, he waited by his gate. Please make sure you rent a SUV, you won't regret it. After a tour through the Lodge, Xavier made us a very delicious and tastefull diner. He is a real good chef. We had this diner in his garden close to all the animals! Just lovely! Also the breakfast in the morning was great, with homemade bread. We enjoyed our stay! The Lodge has all needed facilities you need. When you are near Hoedspruit this is the Lodge to be!

An amazing experience, the host Mr Xavier is extremely accommodating. There are many activities that Mr Xavier can organize, a suggestion would be to speak to him prior to booking any adventure safaris.

Breakfast was great at Hippomoon. We couldn’t have asked for more attentive service from Xavier. We stayed in the main house (not the lodges) which was huge with fantastic decor. The terrace, pool & fire pit with outlook onto feeding station for the wild animals eg Zebra & antelopes was spectacular. We opted for the additional charge to have dinner on the terrace at night. The food was excellent. Xavier is the most attentive host we have ever stayed with going way beyond what you would normally expect. He took the time to show us around his estate and share his animals with us. Memorable encounter with his giraffe. Expert at helping plan activities to do during our stay.

I think we were really lucky to stay in the main house as a family group. If we had been in the lodges they are beautiful but a little remote, involving a drive.

Xavier was the most impressive host imaginable. It was an unforgettable stay, thanks to his hospitality and culinary skills. We had the fortune of seeing two baby giraffes on his reserve and Xavier took us around in the morning on a safari. The rooms are an eclectic mix of art and beautifully interior design and the views in the morning out to the mountains are spectacular. Thank you for our stay it will forever be in our memories.

Xavier is an absolutely amazing host with a jaw-droppingly beautiful property. This isn’t a hotel, this is an experience. Each night, Xavier prepared a delicious dinner for us to enjoy and even took into account all dietary restrictions. Hippomoon was the highlight of our South African honeymoon.

We enjoyed an outstanding experience at the lodge. The premium accommodation and surrounding wildlife were impressive, but what really stood out was the exceptional hospitality of the host, who cooked delicious dinners, showed us around his land and animals (we could touch a giraffe!!) and provided valuable advice for our trip! Thx Xavier!
