My family and I recently had the privilege of spending a weekend at the Protea Hotel Ranch Resort in Limpopo which we discovered had a whole lot to offer families, including heated pools, a playground, game drives, walking with lions and bottle feeding lion cubs.
We arrived late on Friday in time for a swim in the 3 pools, one cold, one warm and an even warmer little round pool. My daughter had a ball jumping from one to the other.
The next morning began with a scrumptious breakfast buffet and then a visit to the play area with trampolines and jungle gyms.
Time for tennis
and then a phenomenal game drive
where we saw spotted hyena
lazing lion
and the cutest lion cubs we were allowed to bottle feed!
You can even walk with lions if you’re old enough.
We had a meal and played a game of pool at the golf club.
If your family is into golf or horse riding, you can do a round of golf with the help of an instructor or go horseriding
You can choose between staying at the hotel and eating at one of the 3 restaurants on site or staying in one of the 5 star self catering units.
It’s a venue totally suited to big corporate teambuilding retreats, weddings and the like with over 150 units.
