Guest Reviews

Lovely experience with the best people, service and overall accommodation. Couldn’t be happier even if it was only for 3 days. Thanks to the lovely staff Roel, Debra, Aleck, Lucrition, Walter, Hank, Prince, Wellington, Given, Respect, Enoc, Monica, Sara, Rose, just to name a few.

The safari was great and we saw most of everything, and at the hotel there is a spa, and I saw elephants crossing the river. Truly wonderful.

Thanks to all the cleaners and workers as well for keeping this paradise on earth a living heaven.

Thanks, Alexander

A truly wonderful stay! The staff was exceptionally friendly and welcoming. The rooms were very clean, the beds were comfortable and the food was excellent. On top of that, the hotel has a great atmosphere & location! Highly recommended - we definitly come back!

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!

I have never been this excited to write a review. The Kruger Gate Hotel is nothing short than perfection. From the incredible staff, to the amazing amenities and the tastiest food, this has been the best hotel stay of my life! On the safaris front, Enock was our driver for all of our safaris and he is the very best! Extremely kind and patient and really made an effort to look for as many animals he could for us! Request Enock for all your safaris you will not regret it!! And the location!!!! It is literally 2 mins from the Paul Kruger Gate and 30 mins from the Skukuza Airport! There is nothing more to say about this hotel, just book it and live the best days in the African Savannah!!

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.

Alles, wat een super locatie.
Perfecte uitvalsbasis voor bezoek aan het Kruger park.
De namiddag safari was meer dan goed.
Een heel groot hotel maar met een gezellige indeling en super vriendelijk personeel.

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

Pływanie w basenie w otoczeniu słoni, hipopotamów , antylop czy bawołów nie tylko robi gigantyczne wrażenie, ale też wzrusza. Daje poczucie więzi z przyrodą , czystą naturą . To wielki przywilej być w tym magicznym miejscu. Dopełnieniem ideału jest wyśmienite jedzenie i serdeczny personel.

Bereits beim Betreten spürt man die Nähe zur Natur und zu den imposanten Tieren. Safari Feeling pur!
Die Zimmer sind wunderschön eingerichtet und die Anlage lädt zum Verweilen ein. Morgens und abends bedient man sich am üppigen Buffet, das alle Wünsche erfüllt.
Super freundliches Personal an der Rezeption, in den Restaurants und einfach rundum!

Hotel is right next to the Paul Kruger gate making the location perfect. As you are outside of the park, there isn\'t a lot of facilities in the area. It was really nice that a good dinner and breakfast were provided included in the price. Having both quality meals included was real value for money. The facilities were also fantastic as we were already able to get a taste of Kruger Park before entering the park, a Rhino! We would certainly come back in the future.

O hotel fica há 100 metros de uma das entradas do parque, sendo que adquiri os safáris no próprio hotel. Os quartos são muito espaçosos e confortáveis. Café da manhã e jantar muito bom. Oferece também transfer do aeroporto até o hotel, sendo o mais próximo o Skukuza. Adorei a hospedagem, os safáris, alimentação, tudo muito organizado.
