Guest Reviews

We had an amazing stay at this hotel, which is located just next to the Kruger Gate entrance, making getting into the park for a game drive incredibly smooth.

The hotel is luxurious in every way—from the way it blends into nature to the spacious rooms, comfortable beds, and quality linens. Relaxing by the infinity pool overlooking the river was a highlight. The service was also absolutely top-notch.

Dinner at the Lapa Restaurant was incredible, featuring an impressive variety of food options, including game meats like crocodile and ostrich, and eight delicious flavors of ice cream.

We stayed at Kruger Gate Hotel earlier this month and honestly didn\'t want to leave.

From the moment we arrived everyone was so friendly and welcoming. The hotel itself is lovely and really well looked after. We spent plenty of time around the pool where the views into Kruger are incredible. We even saw elephants, buffalo and hippos from our sunbeds, which was amazing.

We booked a couple of massages in the spa which I\'d definitely recommend, and even had a game of crazy golf one afternoon.

The game drives organised through the hotel were brilliant. Everything ran on time, the guides knew so much about the animals and answered all our questions. We were incredibly lucky to see the Big Five, which made the trip even more special.

Our room was spacious and spotless, and I have to mention the hairdryer because it\'s probably the first hotel I\'ve stayed in that actually had a decent one!

We were lucky enough to have Nketeko as our butler and he really made our stay. Nothing was ever too much trouble, he always had a smile on his face and genuinely seemed to care that we were having a good time. He\'s a real credit to the hotel.

The food was another highlight. Breakfast had loads of choice and the evening buffet changed every night, so we never got bored. The cocktails were excellent too.

One thing we both loved was hearing the staff singing together when things were quieter. It created such a happy atmosphere. We also saw the management dealing with a couple of difficult guests, and they stayed calm, patient and professional throughout, which couldn\'t have been easy.

We genuinely had an amazing stay and would go back in a heartbeat. If you\'re visiting Kruger, I honestly can\'t recommend this hotel enough.

My experience at Kruger Gate Hotel was absolutely phenomenal—truly unforgettable.

First, I have to mention the safari experiences. I joined two game drives, one with Culture and another with Hebert. Culture was outstanding: warm, welcoming, and incredibly attentive. Since it was our very first safari, he made us feel comfortable from the very beginning and helped make the experience even more special.

The second safari was with Hebert, and what an incredible guide he is. His knowledge of wildlife and vegetation is remarkable, and his years of experience are evident in everything he does. Listening to him was fascinating, and he made the safari both educational and exciting.

As for the hotel itself, it exceeded all expectations. The rooms are spacious, comfortable, and finished to a very high standard. The bathrooms are large and well-equipped with everything guests might need. The beds are extremely comfortable, and the room also features a sofa, a desk, a minibar, a large television, and a lovely balcony—perfect for starting the day while enjoying the surroundings.

The breakfast was excellent, with an impressive variety of hot and cold options, all of outstanding quality.

A special highlight was the dinner experience. The live music created a wonderful atmosphere, the food was exceptional, the desserts were delicious, and the freshly prepared meats were fantastic.

I absolutely loved my stay at Kruger Gate Hotel. It was recommended to me by a friend, and I will certainly be recommending it to many others. Without a doubt, one of the highlights of my trip to South Africa.

The evening dinner was amazing with a guy welcoming us with afrikaans song. After dinner a few guests and ourselves sat around the fire till late.

Views from the swimming pool deck is amazing. We saw hippos, elephants, buck from the deck.

A hospedagem foi incrivel! O local surpreendeu nossas expectativas
As refeições muito fartas e variadas com opções pra vegetarianos inclusive
A limpeza do quarto foi das mais impecáveis que já tive . O transfer com Dion foi um programa a parte ele é extremamente atencioso, preocupado em se fazer entender e nos contou muitas coisas no trajeto do aeroporto ao hotel , como ele disse, foi nosso mini safari .
O parque fica muito proximo a um dos portões do Krueger . Usamos o serviço do SPA tb, as meninas são ótimas e muito atenciosas. Ficaria de novo c ctza nessa acomodação.

De los mejores hoteles en donde nos hemos quedado en nuestra vida (y vaya que nos quedamos en muchos). Es una auténtica experiencia. El personal es maravilloso, las instalaciones se ve que han sido remodeladas y han quedado fabulosas. La comida muy variada y rica (tanto para vegetarianos como para los no vegetarianos). Esa piscina con vista al Parque Kruger es espectacular!!! Ojalá siga de aquí para mejor porque este hotel es una joya. La atención de Shaz en el restaurante y Dion en el traslado al aeropuerto es de recalcar!
