Search Khokhamoya hotels

The best area to stay in Khokhamoya is the wildlife reserve itself, particularly within the central and eastern sections where lodges are situated to offer prime wildlife viewing opportunities.


This region is characterised by its expansive bushveld, riverine forests, and open grasslands, providing a natural habitat for a wide array of animals. Lodges are typically spread out, offering privacy and a sense of seclusion, with facilities often overlooking waterholes or rivers. The main focus here is on guided game drives and bush walks.


For couples seeking an exclusive and intimate escape, lodges situated deeper within the reserve are ideal. These often feature private plunge pools, outdoor showers, and personalised service, allowing for a truly romantic and undisturbed experience amidst nature. The focus is on relaxation and high-quality wildlife encounters, with activities tailored to individual preferences.


Families travelling with older children will find lodges on the periphery of the central reserve or in dedicated family-friendly concessions particularly suitable. These often provide a broader range of activities beyond game drives, such as educational programmes about the local ecosystem, stargazing, and sometimes even junior ranger experiences, ensuring everyone is entertained and engaged.

The best time to visit Khokhamoya is during the dry season, which runs from May to October.


During these months, the weather is generally sunny and warm, with cooler evenings. The vegetation is sparser, making it easier to spot wildlife, especially around watering holes. This period is particularly good for those interested in safari experiences, as animal sightings are more frequent and reliable.


Families travelling with children will appreciate the comfortable temperatures and reduced chance of rain, which allows for more consistent outdoor activities. The lower humidity also makes for a more pleasant experience for everyone.


For couples looking for a romantic getaway, the dry season offers stunning sunsets and clear skies for stargazing.
