"The view is amazing!"
10 April 2018"The whole resort of Ngwenya is lovely. The restaurant and staff are great and the buffet is fantastic. Very cheap restaurantProbably cheaper than eating in! Hippo hills is a great house for the 10 of us and all the rooms were nice and huge beds. The view is just amazing!!! The pool is great to cool down and really the only negative I would say is not enough lighting on the patio to see what your eating and could do with spotlights to see across the river at night. All in all a fantastic stay and would definitely recommend. Do the tiger fishing with Craig. The highlight for the guys."

"Would love to come back!"
06 May 2015"We had an absolutely amazing stay at Hippo Hills. The views of the crocodile river are amazing. We seen elephants, a rhino, giraffe, hippo, crocodile, buffalo and buck from our patio. The splash pool was so refreshing and was lovely to sit there and watch the animals at the river. The house was well equipped and when we had a problem the maintenance staff came quickly to resolve the problem. In the resort itself, we went to the restaurant, La Fera for a dinner time meal. I would not recommend this as the food was not of a very high standard. A braai at the house is a better option. If I went to the restaurant again I would only go at lunch time for a sandwich or pizza. Otherwise, a totally awesome time was had by all and we would definitely love to come back!"

"Excellent"
