I give it 5 stars and completely agree with Jana Kölzer's review.

Great location, friendly staff, very generous breakfast buffet with delicious food.

The highlight is the pool with its view of the wildlife.

We stayed at Kruger Gate Hotel for two days and had a wonderful experience. The hotel is beautiful, everything was clean and well maintained, and the service was always friendly, attentive and welcoming.

A special mention goes to our ranger, Culture, who did an excellent job organizing and leading our safari tour. He really went out of his way to make sure we could experience as much of the incredible wildlife as possible.

We can highly recommend Kruger Gate Hotel. It is definitely worth visiting, and we would happily come back again!

Had a fabulous 3 days at Kruger Gate Hotel. From the moment they picked us up from the airport they were fantastic. Excellent service and amentites. The food was awesome!!! The room was very comfortable. The highlight of the trip was the safari. We had the most amazing guide, Mr. Culture, who is very professional and knowledgeable. We were able to see the Big 5 and many extra animals such as the chameleon and wild dog. I highly recommend it.

(Translated by Google) Unfortunately, there is currently construction work taking place on the pool deck, which is causing noise all day. Otherwise, this hotel is really great!

Wundervoller Aufenthalt in einem gepflegten Hotel. Alle Bereiche waren sehr sauber, das Personal freundlich, kompetent und hilfsbereit. Große Auswahl bei Frühstück und Abendessen. Die Lage direkt am Paul Kruger Gate ist hervorragend. Die vom Hotel zu einem fairen Preis-Leistungsverhältnis angebotenen Safaris waren hervorragend organisiert.

Rooms amazing clean and fresh staff helpful and friendly safaris a wee bit overpriced from hotel as need pay entry tax above the expense of safari price should be included though safari was amazing

Très bel hôtel au milieu de la nature, face à Kruger. Les installations sont superbes. Les chambres modernes et propres. La nourriture excellente.

Sehr komfortables Hotel direkt am Kruger Gate. Die Lage ist unschlagbar. Sehr gutes Frühstück; das Abendessen hingegen hat deutlich nachgelassen. Wir waren bereits das sechste Mal dort und kennen auch noch die vorherige Leitung. Das Ursprüngliche, was das Hotel mal ausgemacht hat, ist leider aufgrund der jetzigen Größe verloren gegangen. Große Busse reisen dort mittlerweile an und es ist dadurch deutlich unruhiger und weniger gemütlich geworden. Das hat uns nicht mehr so gut gefallen.
Der Service und die sonstigen Annehmlichkeiten (Spa-unbedingt zu empfehlen) waren unverändert top!
Die Zimmer sind sehr komfortabel und geräumig. Die Aussicht ist allerdings bei allen Zimmern eingeschränkt; wir haben bereits mehrere verschiedene ausprobiert.

Our stay was excellent and the food as well as the service were outstanding. We had wonderful animal sightings in the park and can only recommend the hotel to anyone who wants to go on a safari without sacrificing comfort.

It was an amazing experience. I’ll never forget it! Thanks to our guide, who shared detailed information about all the animals; the organization was top-notch!

Wonderful accommodations, rooms are very nice and well appointed. Great ambiance, feels like a resort safari lodge - perfect start for the daily drives through Kruger NP. Restaurants are very well run, food selection and quality is excellent. Staff is great, very friendly and willing to assist with any need. 5 Stars!! Would love to come again.

The whole breakfast team was incredible polite and outgoing in a friendly way and made us feel confortable and welcomed. Especially Mishack and Denis.
Great Vibes!

Absolutely faultless from start to finish. We stayed for 4 nights in early Nov with 2 young children. The food, location, safari experience, staff etc were all absolutely great. Sadly we were robbed on the drive from JNB by the Police out of R5000, the hotel staff showed compassion and a small gesture of kindness to make up for this. The atmosphere at the hotel is perfect, the room was spacious enough for a family of 4. The food was great, and the atmosphere at the evening meal setting is wonderful. We will be back again.

Auch bei unserem zweiten Besuch im Kruger Gate Hotel war wieder alles perfekt. Die kurze Strecke zum Kruger Gate macht die Lage unübertrefflich. Vom Pool aus blickt man direkt auf den Sabie River und in den Kruger-Nationalpark. Mit Glück sieht man hier schon die ersten Tiere.
Essensauswahl überragend und die Qualität lässt ebenfalls keine Wünsche offen.
Wir kommen gerne auch ein drittes Mal wieder.
