Our Mission


Enabling people to achieve the highest quality of life possible through evidence based programs designed to optimize energy levels by equipping our guests with the tools necessary to manage stress, maintain a strong, healthy body and instilling a positive attitude.

History


Established in 1977 Hoogland was and is still a local pioneer in the field of health and wellness. Hoogland was owned and later managed by the Kruger family. The approach adopted was based on those of European Hydros of the time. The “patients”, as the guests were then known, followed a strict regime of exercise, therapy and diet. Over the years the approach to wellness has changed in order to more effectively address the ailments associated with a modern lifestyle.

Surroundings


Hoogland Health Hydro is situated on a private 400Ha game reserve. Eland, blue wildebeest, red hartebeest and zebra are regularly spotted, often mere meters from hikers on the twice daily nature walks. The Hoogland reserve is also home to red jackal, caracal, rock hyrax, baboons, steenbok, vervet monkeys, the yellow mongoose, the scrub hare and 171 species of birds. The reserve is exclusively for the enjoyment of Hydro residents. Animals are relatively tame since no hunting or recreational motorised sports are allowed on the property.
