Really nice to wake up and see wild animals by our window and everywhere in the resort. The staff are super helpful and friendly. Rooms are gorgeous and the food at the restaurants is INCREDIBLE! The hotel is located literally 1min from Kruger reserve national park so very quick and easy for the Safari.
Thanks so much for making my birthday such an amazing experience!

The Kruger Gate Hotel was an incredible experience that i can highly recommend to any tourist and local traveling to the Kruger National Park.

The location is perfect and right by the entrance to the Nature Reserve. The accommodation is very clean and luxurious with gardens and environment that makes you feel that you are in the heart of Africa with views directly into the park. The staff are very friendly and professional and the food for both the breakfasts and dinners was exceptional and always fresh and delicious.

The African energy over here is very powerful and spending time in this hotel with all the people land and animals greater than a five star experience.

I really can’t recommend this enough, everything was perfect and Culture was the best guide we could’ve asked for, be sure if you have culture as your guide no animal is stealthy enough to escape his hawk eyes. I still don’t know how he managed to see the leopard and its cub. Absolutely amazing safari.
Also the location of the hotel is amazing we were there for 10 minutes looked around and just saw 2 elephants out the gate at the pool. Cannot beat this probably the best hotel I’ve ever been in!

Nice hotel. Friendly staff. Made us felt welcome. Very near Kruger gate. Less than 10 minutes by walk - safe to walk. Nice tasty food with entertainment every night.

I stayed for three nights.
To begin with, the hotel has a wonderful atmosphere; its design harmonizes with nature, making you truly feel like you are in Africa.
The facilities are all clean, well-maintained, and comfortable.
Watching the sunrise and the starry sky from the pool deck was an incredible experience.
You might even encounter animals right on the hotel grounds, which adds to the enjoyment.
The staff are all friendly, and the restaurant offers a wide variety of delicious food.
The safari guides are skilled at spotting wildlife.
Since July is winter, it was colder in the mornings and evenings than I had expected, so warm clothing is essential.
It was a fantastic stay. I would love to visit again.

Hôtel dans l\' esprit d\' un club de vacances avec une situation exceptionnelle (900 mètres) de l\' entrée du parc Kruger(Kruger Gate).
La chambre de luxe était grande, avec une literie de qualité, bien insonorisée. En sortant de celle-ci, il nous arrivait de croiser des impalas, des singes velvet,...
L hôtel dispose d\'une grande salle de fitness, d\' un spa, d\' un mini golf, d\' une boutique souvenirs, de 2 bars et 2 restaurants ainsi que de 2 piscines.
Le restaurant du soir( à ciel ouvert)est sous forme de buffet et très diversifié. La nourriture est bonne. La salle des petits déjeuners est très belle et lumineuse. On y trouve aussi un buffet( sucré, salé, froid et chaud).
Le bar interieur est très sympa, il y a une cheminée qui fonctionne pour les soirées fraîches.
Le bar restaurant extérieur dispose d\'une plateforme d\' observation des animaux sur la rivière Sabie. La vue sur la piscine à débordement et sur la rivière est incroyable.

Das Hotel und die Verpflegung waren perfekt. Die Atmosphäre im Lapa Restaurant richtig schön. Wir haben 5 Safaris mitgemacht, die alle sehr gut organisiert waren. Hervorheben möchte ich unseren zweimaligen Guide Culture, der einen super Job gemacht hat.

Zeer vriendelijk ontvangst. Het gebouw ligt midden in het bos, dus je bent een met de omgeving. Een prachtig uitzicht over de rivier waar je wild kan spotten! Prachtige kamer met heerlijke bedden! Mooi restaurant met lokale gerechten van hoge kwaliteit. Het ontbijt was ook zeer goed. We hebben een game drive gedaan met een gids. We kregen een geweldige ontbijtdoos mee voor tijdens de drive.
