The 8 Best Hotels and Resorts in Hazyview (2026)

Updated November 2026 · 8 picks

The best hotels and resorts in Hazyview in 2026 are Kruger Park Lodge and Sabi River Sun for families and golf, Perry's Bridge Hollow in the center of town, Hippo Hollow on the Sabie River, Rissington Inn, 10 minutes from Phabeni Gate, and Umbhaba Eco Lodge. Hazyview is the closest town to Kruger's Phabeni Gate.

Hazyview is the busiest gateway town for southern Kruger: Phabeni Gate is about 10 to 15 minutes away, Numbi and Paul Kruger gates are within an hour, and the Panorama Route is an easy day trip. Staying here costs a fraction of a private reserve, and you can mix self-drives with guided game drives from town (see our guide to Hazyview game drives).

Prices per room or per person per night vary by unit; our bands are per person sharing: $$ $150–400 · $$$ $400–1,000. Self-catering chalets work out much cheaper for families.

Frequently asked questions

How far is Hazyview from Kruger National Park?

Phabeni Gate is about 10 km from Hazyview, roughly a 10- to 15-minute drive. Numbi Gate is a similar distance and Paul Kruger Gate (for Skukuza) is about 45 minutes away.

Which Hazyview hotel is best for families?

Kruger Park Lodge and Sabi River Sun both have self-catering family chalets, several pools and golf; Hippo Hollow's river chalets sleep two adults and two children.

Can I do game drives into Kruger from Hazyview?

Yes. Several Hazyview companies run open-vehicle morning, afternoon and full-day drives into Kruger with hotel pickup, and many hotels sell packages that include them.
