Travel Tip: For the safest route to our hotel, we recommend using the Paul Kruger, Malelane, or Phabeni Gates. Local travel advisories suggest avoiding the Numbi Gate. Our location at the R536 entrance makes the Paul Kruger Gate the most convenient and secure access point for our guests.

Thanks to the management at Kruger Gate Hotel for assisting us when our plans went completely wrong! Thanks for taking care of us.

Fantastic location and the boma was great

They need to change up their dinner buffet as it’s the same every night and limited selection

Posted on 10/10/2026 by Expedia.com

An experience of a lifetime from the moment we were greeted at reception.
Our chalet was perfect for our 5 night\'s stay. Staff couldn\'t do enough to be pleasant and helpful. spending time each afternoon on the viewing deck overlooking the river with a drink in hand was an afternoon must before dinner.
Our accommodation was clean and well maintained with a short walk to all on offer.
Cannot recommend more highly for a safari visit

The staff with Themba and Prinsloo we’re exceptionally good and made sure we had the best experience. The safari also was amazing with Gibson.

Great property, superb location and excellent staff.
This was our 4th visit and we will be back next year. The new Sauna gives you one of the best views in the world from your ow private sanctuary

The stay was excellent, and the hotel as a whole was fantastic! Breakfast was spectacular, with an incredible variety of food, and dinner was just as impressive. We thoroughly enjoyed the safari organized by the hotel itself. The safari guides are excellent, and we had the opportunity to have Carabajo as our guide. He was exceptional, going above and beyond to help us spot all of the Big Five and as many other animals as possible. It is definitely worth it!

The vibe to team to location everything

Kruger Gate is a brilliant place to stay for visiting Kruger National Park given it is close to the Kruger Gate and so avoids the 45 minute trip from Hazyville. The hotel is extremely comfortable with spacious rooms and a delicious buffet breakfast. The dinner buffet had plenty of choice and it was nice to be able to eat outside with a wood fire. There is a viewing area which overlooks the park and we saw a herd of elephants, buffalo and hyena. We did an afternoon game drive and the drivers keep each other informed of where the best sightings are. The transfers to KMI took around 90-120 minutes.

The hotel is beautiful. Rooms are decorated thoughtfully and are spotless. The territory is amazing and the views from deck are just mesmerizing. Staff is very kind and welcoming

Great location to explore Kruger Nationalpark! You can book safaris or go on your own and afterwards enjoy the beautiful pool (wildlife spotted from the pool 🦛) and the great buffet at night and in the morning!

Extrem schön in die Natur integrierte Anlage mit toller Veranda.

Posted on 10/10/2026 by Booking.com

Das Hotel ist wirklich toll. Modern eingerichtet, gross und hat alles was man braucht. Das Essen ist super und es gibt auch noch Bars und Kaffee, welchen man sich zusätzlich bestellen kann. Ausserdem gibt es einen Safari-Desk, wo man unkompliziert direkt für die nächsten Tage buchen kann. Am Besten hat uns die Pool-Terrasse gefallen, wo man vom Wasser aus Tiere beobachten kann.

Les safari sont vraiment super aussi

Wir hatten einen wunderschönen Aufenthalt im Kruger Gate Hotel. Das Zimmer war toll und es hat wirklich an nichts gefehlt. Auch das Buffet war hervorragend – eine große Auswahl und für jeden Geschmack etwas dabei. Besonders beeindruckend war der traumhafte Ausblick von der Terrasse und vom Pool direkt in die Natur. Mit etwas Glück konnten wir sogar Hippos, Elefanten und Büffel beobachten. Ein ganz besonderes Erlebnis – wir kommen sehr gerne wieder!

This is such a beautiful hotel with the friendliest staff. We loved the location and them organising safaris for us. The inclusive breakfast and dinners were top quality aswell. I highly recommend this to anyone wanting to stay in Skukuza.

The property is well maintained and beautifully designed. The photos do not do it justice. It exceeded my expectations.
