From the moment we checked into the hotel, the staff were absolutely incredible. I had been dealing with Sarah who is a delight and she personally welcomed my fiancé and I and showed us to our rooms which they had done up as a surprise to us both on our recent engagement. A big shout out to Nathi who helped us with our luggage and personal service, he is an absolute delight. We stayed in the lux room and it was absolutely incredible, every detail thought through. Food was amazing, lying at the pool overlooking the river. Miguel the GM is fantastic and doing an amazing job with all his staff. Thank you and we will be back.

We recently traveled to South Africa for a wedding and made it a point to visit Kruger beforehand. Our stay at the Kruger Gate Hotel was perfect from the moment we arrived until the moment we left.

Having worked in the hotel industry for over 30 years, I pay close attention to service standards — and the team at this property exceeded every expectation. Every department delivered truly outstanding hospitality, from the front desk to housekeeping, dining, and spa services.

The meals were excellent, the spa experience was outstanding, and the safari was unforgettable. Every staff member we encountered was warm, professional, and genuinely committed to creating a memorable stay.

Highly recommended — we will absolutely return

The phrase \"bucket list\" is used often. This is certainly one of those occasions. The hotel property literally borders the Kruger Gate entrance to the park. The hotel was welcoming and a made everything flow for a wonderful holiday. Seamless between accommodations, meals, safaris, spa, etc. Staff extremely friendly. Never heard the word no. Would definitely recommend and repeat.

Great location within feet of the Kruger Gate park entrance. Note that breakfast and dinner options are buffet only. Large selection of quality food options. Staff were extremely friendly and professional. Seamless to use the safari desk at the hotel to arrange all park activities.
