Traveling is fun, and the excitement starts from planning your travel. While most people tend to stick to the normal, flying major carriers like American and staying at Marriotts, one "hotel" in South Africa might look appealing to travelers who are interested in aviation and want their stay to be special and memorable.
 

The Aerotel in South Africa

 

Aerotel is a hotel in Hoedspruit, South Africa, 450km Northeast of Johannesburg. Hoedspruit is known for ecotourism, thanks to its proximity to nearby Kruger National Park.

 

The town is served by Air Force Base Hoedspruit, known as Eastgate Airport, for civilian flights. Airlink and CemAir operate flights from Cape Town and Johannesburg.

 

The hotel itself consists of two aircraft, a Boeing 737 and a Boeing 727. According to Aerotel, the 737 accommodates six cabins, while the 727 offers the entire plane for private lodging.
