In Mbombela, the Protea Hotel and the Mercure property are the most complete business hotels in the city. The Kruger gateway function means that hotel rates here are significantly higher during the July–August school holiday period and the summer bush season. For budget-conscious Kruger visitors, Mbombela hotels represent better value than lodges inside the park while still being within 40 minutes of the Malelane and Numbi gates.
