Radisson Safari Hotel Hoedspruit is just two kilometres from Hoedspruit, with the Drakensberg Mountains stealing the show in the distance. The 138 rooms and suites here (including family rooms and even a few with private pools!) mix Scandinavian flair with earthy safari tones. Each one comes with air-conditioning, Wi-Fi, TV, a safe and a private bathroom with rain shower. There are two outdoor pools to choose from, a Kids’ Club for little travellers, and a spa with a steam room and five treatment rooms. Expect a buffet breakfast with all the works, and a mix of African, Middle Eastern, and Portuguese dishes at the restaurant -all served with mountain views, of course.
