Marriott International Hotel News received today:

“We are Bringing Autograph Collection Hotels to Kruger National Park (KNP)

We are excited to announce the signing of a franchise agreement with
Tingana Hospitality Group to open an Autograph Collection® hotel in the iconic Kruger National Park in the north-east of South Africa.

Slated to open by 2025, the Autograph Collection hotel in Kruger National Park will feature 18 villas, an all-day dining restaurant, lobby bar and swimming pool, as well as a host of other features and facilities. The hotel will be located on the Sabie River bordering the Kruger National Park, near the Kruger Gate entrance to the park.”

Sounds some way off yet, although I suspect that KNP may get a little attention boost when the current “I’m a celebrity, get me out of here !” series is broadcast in the UK later this year.
