We had a wonderful stay at Hoyo Hoyo. The service is incredible. Since there are only a few rooms at Hoyo Hoyo you get very attentive personal service. Ralph and Given made it fun with their quirkiness and funny sayings as they served us food and drinks. The lodge is very nice and we could stay for hours watching the animals line up at the watering hole. Elephant, buffalo, wildebeest, warthog, monkeys, civet, antelope and parrots all visited for a drink! There were however, a ton of bees in the area and it did make eating lunch a bit annoying, but you are in the bush! The room was nice, but there is only an outside shower. We showered in the afternoon when it was warmer so it was fine. We came to Hoyo Hoyo from Sabi Sands so it may be a little unfair to compare, but it is worth noting a few things. At Sabi Sands you have a tracker & guide which not only makes the game drives more exciting, you feel like your chances of seeing the big 5 or something unique are greatly improved. Not having a tracker seemed like we were relying on the radio to find something or just plain luck. It is also harder for the guide to drive and look for animals. Our guide was very knowledgeable, but he seemed to lack the go-getter mentality we experienced in Sabi Sands. Everything was a little bit slower and there wasn't the eagerness to find animals like we experienced in Sabi Sands. Overall we had a great experience and stay at Hoyo Hoyo.
