Guest Reviews

Kruger Gate Hotel was one of the best resort experiences I have ever had. Not only are you on the doorstep of kruger, the wildlife permeates through the place by walking through it contantly (the non dangerous ones!). The hotel itself is well kept/looks good and is filled with leafy trees. The infinity pool looking out over the river is fantastic and you are bound to see many Animals from there alone.

The staff are all great people. Lawrence and so many countless others always went out of their way to help me whenever they could, even setting us up with things for other parts of our trip at no benefit to them.

A bank of memories with good people!

What a truly beautiful hotel. We loved watching the hippos in the river from the infinity pool, and every dinner around the open fire was absolutely wonderful.
We spent three unforgettable days on safari with Enock, who completely made the experience for us. His knowledge is exceptional, he answered every question with ease and enthusiasm. He went above and beyond to ensure our safari was everything we hoped for and more.

Truly excellent service -- Meschack at the pool bar provided above and beyond service, Excellent at dinner service lived up to his name, and our Safari guide Paris was fabulous. We had a great time. The grounds are beautiful and the location can\'t be beat. Loved watching animals come to the river from the pool deck.

Thanks to Enock for amazing 3 day Safari with my family. He was so much fun and his knowledge was incredible teaching us a lot while making us feel very safe.
His experience showed with him been able to spot out the smallest signs of animals, allowing us to see 4 of the big 5, among many other animals.
Thanks Enock.

From great service, an amazing safari and a great hotel in general, this place is definitely worth it.

Would love to come back in the next few years.

Enoch was an incredible safari guide. He was so knowledgable and made us feel very safe. He could spot animals without a camera or binoculars that we hadn’t been able to see! He knew lots of information about the animals and local area. He was also extremely respectful to the animals.

Beautiful hotel - lovely decor and interior design. The photos don’t do it justice. Because we were there after the floods the river that the pool overlooked was fast flowing and deep - perfect for lots of hippos. From the pool we saw elephants, water buffalo, hippos, monkeys and impala.
We did 2 safaris that the hotel organised - the guides were both excellent - the floods had caused damage to the gravel roads so we had to stay on the tarmac - we still saw lots of wildlife but the lions and leopard were elusive - others saw them on the days that were there so it’s just the luck of the draw to be in the right spot at the right time. The birds are beautiful too.
We had a deluxe room and it was wonderful.
The staff were all super helpful.
Dinner was a buffet outside in the lapa - lots of choice and good food.
We played golf in the national park at Skukuza and going down the dirt road to the golf club we followed 6 giraffes - magical - amazing what can make you late for your game of golf!
We would definately go back and next time we would also do some self drives in the park as well as some guided safaris.
We drove from Johannesburg (6 hrs and an easy drive) but next time we will fly to Skukuza and hire a car when we get to the hotel.
Also loved the fact that the infinity pool did not allow children so that the noise didn’t upset the wildlife which is very close by. It makes it quite a romantic place for couples.
The hotel is wonderful - if you are considering it just go - you won’t be disappointed

L’emplacement est superbe à la frontière du parc Kruger, face a la rivière où nous avons pu observer hippopotames, antilopes et même un éléphant traverser, tout en étant au bord de la très belle piscine. Chambre bien décorée et très propre et nombreux services pour rendre l’expérience très agréable. Un plaisir de revenir de safari dans l’établissement !
