We thoroughly enjoyed this perfect stay; a huge thank you goes to Johannes (Supervisor), who made our stay truly special. A big thank you also to Given (our favorite waiter at dinner). And a very big thank you to all the other staff members, not forgetting the kitchen staff – the food was always varied and delicious.

A equipe de funcionários bem educada e sorridente, começando pelo transfer do aeroporto até o hotel. O hotel é imenso, nosso quarto ficou distante da recepção, mas era muito aconchegante. Td muito sinalizado. A culinária maravilhosa, café da manhã e jantar nota 1.000. Ficamos encantados. A noite teve apresentação de dança. O spa está em reforma mesmo assim fizemos uma massagem maravilhosa. Fica na porta do parque Krüger. Localização perfeita p um safári e ideal p famílias com crianças tbm. Tem uma vista linda p o rio onde vimos elefantes, hipopótamos e macacos. No hotel tem lojinha, tem restaurante e toda área de lazer.

Sehr schönes Hotel in direkter Nähe zum Kruger Gate.

The Kruger Gate Hotel really is the dream hotel and we honestly cannot recommend it highly enough.

From the moment we arrived, everything about our stay was outstanding. The hotel itself is beautiful and the location is simply incredible. There cannot be many places in the world where you can relax in a swimming pool while watching hippos and elephants at the watering hole. It was one of those experiences that you have to keep reminding yourself is actually real.

The food was another huge highlight. Both breakfast and dinner were incredible, with an amazing amount of choice and consistently excellent quality. Every meal felt like an experience in itself and we genuinely looked forward to seeing what was on offer each day.

The entertainment was also amazing and added so much to the whole experience. It was wonderful to feel immersed in the local culture while enjoying our evenings at the hotel. One moment that will stay with me was hearing the staff sing The Lion Sleeps Tonight while we were eating. I’ll admit, I even got a little glassy-eyed. It was such a special and unexpectedly emotional moment and perfectly captured the magic of being there.

The staff were absolutely outstanding throughout our stay. Everyone was friendly, welcoming and attentive and they all played a part in making the hotel feel so special.

We also booked our safaris through the hotel and they were incredibly well planned, exciting and undoubtedly some of the highlights of our trip.

We traveled to the Kruger Gate Hotel in August 2026 with our extended family, including a 6-year-old child and my sister and her girlfriend. The facilities are lovely, the rooms are comfortable and well outfitted, the safari experience is seamless, and the warmth of the hotel staff was particularly memorable - particularly Samaria who served us each night at dinner, our safari guides Gibson, Remember and Culture, and Sarah and Patricia who calmly and quickly helped us when baboons found their way into our room (this is wild life!). We made so many wonderful family memories here and will recommend the hotel to other friends and family.

Have already stayed 3 times and will return time after time! Every single inch of this lodge is incredible. Staff are all so helpful, friendly and genuinely interested and caring. Rooms are clean, spacious and beds are comfortable. We easily shared the bed with our toddler. The boma dinner around the campfire under the stars with African music is always such a special experience. Other than that all amenities and facilities are amazing. Fabulous value for the price you pay!

This was hands down the most amazing experience!! The hotel is so luxurious and the entire staff is so professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. They care so much about our safety and comfort. The rooms are immaculate with a modern touch, as well as very thoughtfully curated decor. It was truly an unbelievable experience. We can’t wait to return!!!

We traveled with two couples and one child, and had an incredible stay. Reservations for safaris through the hotel made the trip so easy. The accommodations were beautiful from reception to the room. The buffet for breakfast and dinner were actually the best I’ve had anywhere and I went in with lower expectations for the food but everything was fresh, huge selection, well cooked and service was great. We enjoyed the staff from Bongeka at the Safari desk to Samaria at LAPA restaurant, and our guides: Gibson, Culture and Remember who made the trip truly unforgettable.

This property is beautiful, well worth the stay and competitive pricing. The good was great, staff are friendly and efficient. Rooms are comfortable, Thank you

We enjoyed a 3 night stay where we completed 2 full day safaris.
From the moment we arrived at Skukuza airport we felt so looked after. All of the staff at Kruger Gate went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, safe and relaxed.
A special shout out to our safari guides Edgar and Moses who were both incredible and offered very different experiences. We were lucky enough to view the big 5 over the two days and had some outstanding experiences. For example, Edgar took us to a viewing hut where we saw a huge heard of elephants drinking and bathing in a pool of water.
The hotel was so well organised. Breakfast was brilliant and very handy for the safaris when you were up early!
Lapa which is the hotels restaurant was outstanding! The range of foods was amazing and we couldn’t believe the quality and choice! We thoroughly looked forward to this after a long day out on safari!
100% recommend and we will absolutely be looking to visit again one day - perhaps with friends.

Harold was a great guide— incredibly knowledgeable about all aspects of Kruger. In just two days, I was able to see all the animals I wanted to see. On the last day, I saw two male lions and two leopards thanks to his decision to take a particular route. I was very happy with my experience, and Harold was a big reason why.

Really enjoyed our stay at Kruger Gate hotel, the location was superb. The food was exceptional, Boma and other spaces are awesome, really loved the ambiance and the proximity to the park.

We had a wonderful stay at the Kruger Gate Hotel. It has beautiful grounds and the pool bar is incredible. You can watch the animals, such as elephants, from there. The food is delicious. We highly recommend the Kruger Gate Hotel.

What makes the Kruger Gate Hotel so special is the combination of everything.

It truly felt like a dream holiday and we were so sad to leave. We would absolutely love to return one day and relive the experience all over again.

Thank you to everyone at Kruger Gate Hotel for an unforgettable stay. We will be recommending it to everyone we know.

La struttura dell\'hotel è molto bella e integrata nell\'ambiente, la camera è ampia e da nella natura. Organizzano safari anche all\'ultimo minuto, sono flessibili nel preparare un cestino per la colazione in caso di check out all\'alba. Personale molto cortese. Cena abbondante e animata in un bellissimo scenario.

The hotel doesn’t feel or look like a hotel. It’s completely integrated into the scenery with big trees incorporated everywhere.

Un hotel maravilloso para vivir la experiencia de Kruger. Está al lado de la puerta del parque, por lo que la logística para los safaris es comodísima (hicimos safaris contratados en el hotel y estuvieron genial). Destacaría el buffet tiene una variedad estupenda y muchísima calidad, y las cenas al aire libre son una delicia. Para rematar, el spa es espectacular y el trato de todo el personal, impecable. Totalmente recomendable.
