Braai Safaris Lodge is located inside the private and secure Hoedspruit Wildlife Estate, in the town of Hoedspruit. Perfectly situated between the Kruger National Park and the Blyde River Canyon, which is a beautiful and conserved part of the Lowveld bush. The Wildlife Estate hosts great birdlife and plains game such as: zebras, giraffes, kudus, warthogs and impalas just to name a few, but also some occasional visits from leopards, hyenas and nocturnal animals that come in, from the surrounding Greater Kruger Nature Reserves. The Maroela Villa will allow you to experience a great balance of comfort and bush, while you are relaxing on your patio with a view, looking for animals that might come by or you can enjoy the splash pool for those hot African afternoons. A large outside patio, private splash pool and boma, 2 bedrooms with own outside private area with view and private bathroom (with fresh and soft bed linen) 1 bedroom has king size bed that can be split into 2 singles. The second bedroom has a queen size bed which has a mosquito net and a sofa single bed. Acacia Room and Gardenia Room are two spacious private rooms with a private patio overlooking the bush.
