In May of this Year I had the opportunity to spend 3 nights at HOYO HOYO TSONGA LODGE. As I work for knecht reisen ag in the IT-Department we could
profit from very good conditions. HOYO HOYO TSONGA LODGE is run excellent, staff are very friendly und the food was superb. The accommodation is of very high standard. We my son Patrick and I had a beautiful time and in 24 hours we have seen all of the BIG FIVE.
We also made a side inspection off the IMBALI SAFARI LODGE and HAMILTONS TENTED CAMP we have recommended this Properties to the PM of our AFRICA Department.
I wish to thank for the opportunity to visit this 3 Lodges and hopefully we can send many tourists out of Switzerland.
Kind regards

I have to say that we had a great time at Hamilton's and Hoyo Hoyo and I would definitely recommend them both to everyone. Of course that is what I will do anyway when the article will be published.
About the game drives and the leopards, here's some more specific and certainly interesting info on that. The two drives where we saw altogether five leopards were actually carried out from Hoyo Hoyo, not from Hamilton's. I do believe however that the sightings of the first three leopards (all at night, within 15 minutes) were close to Hamilton's. The next morning we went out and saw two more leopards, a younger one in a tree and the mother on the road and in the bushes. Those are the ones on the pictures. These sightings were on a loop with a baobab tree connected to a tarred road in the Kruger Park, not on the concession. Also interesting is the fact that on the same night drive as the first three leopards we also saw an African wildcat, a serval and a caracal (and honeybadgers, hyena's, baby rhino and baby elephant). Quite special. But since the night before, driving out from Hamilton's, we saw a lion, and the following morning, cheetahs, I think within 24 hours we saw every African cat species living in the area.
