A bit about this place
Hippo water front is the most peaceful and quiet setting on the banks of the Crocodile river only 10 km out of Nelspruit. Affordable, clean , comfortable and fully equipped en-suite timber log chalets and rooms ensures a real rustic and African bush experience. Each chalet has a magnificent view of the river from its private verandah. Running water, rolling green lawns and lots of indigenous trees offers abundant bird life to this setting as well as visits by the rivers resident hippo’s.
This is a ideal base from where to explore the wonders of the Mpumalanga Lowveld like, Blyde river canyon, Gods window, Bourkes luck potholes, waterfalls , Sudwalla caves and the Kruger National Park.
