They expanded by adding more rooms, a pool deck with breathtaking views and a coffee shop.

A group of media were recently invited to the recently revamped Protea Hotel by Marriott Kruger Gate, which underwent an upgrade of R100-million.

We got a traditional South African welcome, with dancers moving to the beat of the drum while another group sang, at the entrance of the hotel before being escorted to our newly-built safari-chic luxury rooms. Each room boasts the artwork and photos of local artists. There is a nice relaxing area with a couch and a little table, overlooking an inviting private porch area. The bathroom is spacious, too.

One of my favourite spots is the new pool deck. It is a beautifully built-up area where you can chill with friends and family, order a drink or simply take a dip in the inviting pool. And the views of the Kruger National Park, where you can also spot wildlife around, is priceless.Adjacent to the pool deck, on the bottom level, is a large pool area, which has another bar section.

Another new addition to the hotel is the coffee show, where you can enjoy a selection of drinks and beverage of choice. “Reducing the property’s carbon footprint is also part of their conservation efforts,” Meyer added. “Over the last five years, we implemented several energy-saving initiatives which have amounted to a 22% saving in electricity. This effort to reduce our footprint is apparent throughout our new expansion, with technology introduced to continue improving our energy and water efficiency. In addition, all wet waste is recycled, and all grey water is cleaned and returned to the river.
