INVITATION FROM THE SAGS CONGRESS CHAIR
Dear Friends and Collegues
SAGS Annual Congress from 25-27 May 2012 is very special meeting. We have invited an outstanding guest speaker Anders Heijl from Denmark and the venue will be the Protea Hotel Kruger Gate. The luxurious hotel is situated only 100 meters from the Paul Kruger Gate of the Kruger National Park. Kruger National Park boasts the most diverse game viewing experience in Africa. Our venue provides guests with the ideal location from which to experience wildlife first-hand.
The iconic KrugerNational Park is waiting for your to explore its vast landscapes and spectacular African wildlife. Enjoy thrilling game drives and walking safaris – find out what it is like to be close to a pride of lion, feel the excitement and intensity of a South African Safari in Kruger National Park.
As the home of the BIG Five and the second largest reserve in Africa, this area of the wild, unspoiled by humans, has become a destination for travellers across the globe. Located in one of the most ecologically heterogeneous regions of Southern Africa, the vastly shifting landscapes of the park connect expanses of grassy planes, traverse thorny woodland thickets and encircle rugged koppies and culminate in the imposing Lebombo Mountains of the east.
The Lodge offers 96 luxury en-suite rooms or 7 six-sleeper chalets. Surely, one of the most memorable moments of your visit will be dining in the stunning openair Lapa Restaurant under the African stars. We can organize bush drives in a Private Reserve and throughout the Kruger National Park, along with open vehicle safaris and organized game trails for you and your family. A birdwatchers paradise and for young and old alike, Hotel facilities include a unique Tree House sleep out and a variety of sporting facilities.
From the time that you are welcomed to the up market Protea Hotel Kruger Gate under the towering indigenous portico, you will know that you’re about to experience something different. This superior lodge style hotel on the banks of the Sabie River in Mpumalanga offers an affordable luxury getaway. The ambience of comfort is unforgettable in the context of the African bush. Savour the impression of being in a tree house, reinforced when you notice that the veranda and walkway to your air-conditioned room is at a level normally the sole domain of the variety of birds found in the area.
This year’s SAGS Congress will enrich you with evidence-based scientific talks as well as you can relax and network in the beautiful surroundings of the Kruger National Park.
