Protea Hotel in Uganda to offer free WiFi

Protea Hotels and African Pride Hotels have finished rolling out their free WiFi network in their South African properties.

Guests at the 90-odd Protea and African Pride hotels countrywide can now access 100MB of data per day on the house – or rather, on the hotel – each stay.

The Protea Hospitality Group is the largest in Africa and has hotels spread across South Africa, Zambia, Namibia, Uganda, Tanzania, Malawi, Nigeria and Kenya.

Protea Hospitality Group Marketing and Advertising Manager Nicholas Barenblatt said the offering was conceived because modern guests were of the ‘always on’ generation no matter whether they were travelling for business or leisure.

“When we travel we have to be connected, whether it’s to catch up with friends and family or catch up on critical work emails. Both are equally important to guests, which is why we have introduced this value-add across both Protea Hotels and African Pride Hotels in South Africa,” Barenblatt said.
