Every hour of your stay presents a new, camera-ready backdrop where you can unleash your creativity and craft authentic and compelling content that connects with your followers.
Here’s your one-day itinerary for capturing 6 next-level Instagrammable moments that serve up a fusion of luxury, nature, adventure and the spirit of Africa.
Early morning magic at the Pool Bar & Viewing Deck – The day begins with sunrise over Kruger’s untamed horizon. Capture the pink-golden glow from the Pool Bar with its unique, uninterrupted view into Kruger. Under the canopy of giant bushveld trees, you can serenely relish morning yoga poses, quiet journalling from a lounger around the infinity pool or set up an iconic morning coffee shot with the bush as your backdrop.
Safari game drive & wildlife sightings – A true African adventure unfolds on every Kruger game drive in our open safari vehicles. As you traverse the stunning landscapes, you have the chance to document your sightings of the Kruger National Park’s Big 5, and so much more. From majestic Elephants to stately Kudus, extraordinary Giraffes and stealthy Leopards, this is the ultimate in-the-wild photo op. Go for close-ups that bring your followers face-to-face with Africa’s magnificent creatures and don’t forget to capture your own excitement and sense of awe.
Alfresco lunch in a Viewing Deck pod – After the safari, relax on the Viewing Deck in an elevated pod with a gourmet wood-fired pizza and a cocktail, both perfectly styled for the ‘gram. The contrast of luxury dining against the raw wilderness is Insta-gold. Capture a few panoramic shots over the Sabie riverbed to highlight the scene.
Fireside dinner & African dance at Lapa Restaurant – In the evening you’ll hear the resonant boom of the big, brass gong and the sonorous call to dinner that invites you into the Lapa Restaurant for a sumptuous three-course African feast. Tables are set out under the stars and sparks shoot up from the central firepit. From s’mores and roosterbroodjies over hot coals to pots of crocodile curry and an array of international dishes, there’s so much opportunity to make mouths water. As dancers perform around the leaping flames, your images will embody the lively beat and energy of African culture in a post that speaks to the heart of South Africa.
Nightcap at Shilovo Bar – Round off your evening with an intimate nightcap at Shilovo Bar along the hotel’s lodge-style walkway through the canopy of trees. The ambient lighting, tasteful setting, and stylish drinks make this the moment when the safari stories of the day are shared and memories are made. Use a filter to complement the vibe, making your followers feel like they’re right there with you.
Room Service indulgence – Before calling it a night, treat yourself to a late-night snack. Order in room service and set up your spread, capturing the comfort and luxury of your private Kruger retreat. It’s the perfect way to end the day’s journey—proof that safari life is as stylish as it is wild!
With free Wi-Fi throughout Kruger Gate Hotel and charging stations at the Pool Bar & Viewing Deck, sharing your day in real-time is effortless, ensuring your followers catch every moment, as it happens.
