To be honest — most of Hoedspruit isn’t ideal for digital nomads. Many accommodations have unreliable internet and frequent power outages. But Nomads Den is the exception. The villas were designed from the ground up to meet the needs of guests who need to stay connected and get work done. Read the stories below, all inspired by real Nomads Den guests.
Anna and Josh came to Hoedspruit for a mix of work and rest. Josh had just launched a new app and needed to stay online, take calls, and keep things running — even from the bush. At Nomads Den, he was able to do just that. With fast, reliable internet and no interruptions from power cuts, they were able to enjoy their days around the pool or on game drives, knowing work didn’t have to stop. “It’s the first place we’ve stayed that actually delivered on the promise of working remotely in nature,” said Anna. “It felt like we could have it all.”
Sophie booked Nomads Den for a solo trip to work on her second novel. She didn’t need much — just peace, good coffee, and stable internet to do her research and upload chapters. What she found was a place that gave her all that and more. Mornings were spent writing on the deck while zebra wandered past. Afternoons were for slow lunches, dips in the pool, or short walks in the estate. “I’ve never felt so focused,” she said. “It’s quiet, inspiring, and completely functional — which is rare for somewhere so remote.”
After a week at a high-end lodge in Kruger, the Evans family was ready for a change. The lodge was stunning, but for Tom — who still needed to check in with his company daily — it had been a nightmare. No proper internet, constant power cuts, and no place to work. When they moved to Nomads Den, it was a complete relief. Tom worked a few hours each morning at the desk while the kids played in the pool and his wife relaxed with a coffee. “Everything just worked — and that made the whole family trip better,” he said. “It’s the kind of setup I wish more lodges understood.”
Nomads Den offers super-fast fibre internet and a high-end internal network, with backup satellite internet to keep you online no matter what. You’ll find power outlets and in-wall USB chargers throughout the villa — not just at the desk. Everything was designed to support productivity and comfort, without giving up on luxury or relaxation. Just a heads-up: this level of connectivity is rare in Hoedspruit. Most places still rely on slow radio links and frequent outages.
