Lucky us to meet Deon and Sue!! - fantastic people running a gorgeous B'n'B lodge very close to the heart of Hoedspruit. We loved them. They made such a warm landing for our first night in South Africa. Call of the Wild Lodge is a gorgeous, architecturally designed home, with a briliant outdoor lounge where you can sit and chat. The beautiful, comfortable appartment we stayed in looked out on a lovely garden full of birds and flowers. Three whip-smart Jack Russel dogs are the spirit inhabiting this home, one sitting hilariously on the head rest of the large surround couches in the open air lounge,to listen in on our conversations. Game of many kinds can be witnessed passing the fence at the bottom of the garden, a great first taste of Greater Kruger, if you are heading into the bush. What makes this a different experienece is that Call of the Wild backs on to a Green Belt full of animals but excluding the Big Five. This means you can walk unattended through this gorgeous section of bush experiencing encounters with Giraffe, Kudu, Warthogs and orfher bush animals WITHOUT needing a gun toting guide! You literally cant do this on Safari out in the concessions, where you can feel a bit regimented, trapped and unable to exercise. So COTW truly offers a different, prescious experience to add to your bucket list --- of being able to walk freely and stumble with out fear over animals, observing them from near. I imagine this aspect would be perfect for families with children. While walking, I encountered Deon and his band of dogwalking friends as they traversed the green belt. They invited me to walk with them, giving me a glimpse of their local-life here. Joyous really! They kindly gave me flora and fauna tips - a precious experience. These are loving people with a passion for this magic place. I feel very lucky to have shared that walk and had a window into their world. Beds and bathroom were very comfortable. The breakfast was DELICIOUS. The staff were great. Deon very kindly offered to drop us to a restaurant for dinner that night. And Sue very kindly included us on a jauint to a very interesting talk on Elephants that happened to be taking place in town. I just wanted more of them really! My mother and I hope to stay there again next time we are passing through Hoedspruit. I can't recommend Call of the Wild enough.

What a find! This lovely lodge, set on an exclusive wild life estate was exactly what we needed. Our spacious room had its own decked area which overlooked pretty gardens overflowing with birdlife and backed onto a nature reserve via a gate. On walking into the reserve we discovered giraffe, kudu,warthog and nyala On the quiet road outside the lodge we found kudu and zebra. Our room had its own carparking are behind, well lit and private with gated accesss to the decking near our room. Breakfast was taken on decking by the pool,again overlooking the garden and the reserve. We could not believe how quiet and peaceful it was The estate is literally 3 mintutes drive from the centre of Hoedspruit with shops. Restaurants aplenty are between 7 minutes and 15 minutes drive away. The owners could not have been more kind and helpful. A most restful place to unwind and relax Blyde river canyon with its river boat cruise is easily driveable from here, and the little airport is very near for flying back to Jo'burg to connect with flights back home. We cannot recommend Call of the Wild enough and we will certainly return if we are in the area again. Huge thanks for a perfect stay. Margaret and Bruno
