Radisson announces its first safari hotel in South Africa
Radisson Hotel Group has announced the opening of Radisson Safari Hotel Hoedspruit, the first safari hotel in Africa and the 11th hotel in South Africa.
The hotel is located between two famous nature reserves, the Kruger National Park and the Blyde River Canyon, 2 km from Hoedspruit in the heart of the grasslands in the Limpopo province and only 20 minutes from Eastgate Airport, Zawya.com reports.
With majestic views of the Dragon Mountains, the highest mountain range in South Africa, Radisson Safari Hotel Hoedspruit will offer tourists a wealth of fun and adventure. Guests can take part in safari rides to see local wildlife such as lions, rhinos and elephants, go horseback riding or admire the sprawling landscape from a hot air balloon.
The Radisson Safari Hotel Hoedspruit offers a wide range of room types, from standard rooms with garden and mountain views to premium suites with private pools and outdoor seating areas where you can admire the natural landscape.
With a modern Scandinavian design, the hotel's 138 rooms and suites create a soothing environment with natural materials, wooden details and rich earthy colours that pay tribute to African style.
At the thatched-roof Mirage Restaurant, guests can enjoy South African and Lebanese cuisine on the restaurant's wraparound deck, with convenient access to the sunbathing area and pool in the summer, and an outdoor fireplace for cooler evenings. The Pegasus Restaurant offers fresh and healthy Mediterranean, Italian, Mexican and American cuisine, as well as gourmet ice cream and frozen cocktails served by the adults-only poolside. At the hotel's third restaurant, Boma, guests can indulge in some of Africa's most popular delicacies, such as the local Boerewors sausage or Bobotie while listening to the soothing crackle of a fire and watching the stars in the clear night sky.
