Dining at the hotel

Dining at the hotel is designed to suit both families and couples. The Mirage provides a laid-back setting with a dedicated children’s menu, while The Pegasus offers a more refined experience for those looking to enjoy a quieter meal. Babysitting services and kids’ club activities make it easy for parents to step away for an evening.

Traditional boma dinners under the stars add a memorable touch, bringing local flavours and atmosphere together in a distinctly Lowveld setting. Plus, Hoedspruit’s growing food scene is just a short drive away.

Things to do while you’re there

Days at the Radisson Safari Hotel Hoedspruit are shaped by discovery. Families can head out on guided game drives, explore nature on foot with age-appropriate walking trails, or take in the scenery from the water on a boat cruise along the Blyde River.

For younger guests, the Wild Side Kids’ Club offers a dedicated space to play and unwind, complete with an outdoor area and plenty of pool time. Meanwhile, parents can take a moment to switch off.

Those seeking a bit more adventure can explore ziplining, quad biking and pony encounters. A standout experience is a sunrise hot air balloon flight with Sun Catchers, drifting over the canyon as the landscape comes to life below.

Families can also visit the Moholoholo Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre, where rescued animals and conservation stories offer a meaningful, educational outing.
