Affordable African Holidays in a luxury room in the Kruger Park

An African holiday doesn’t need to cost your life savings to feel extraordinary. At Kruger Gate Hotel, your safari dreams come to life at the heart of Kruger Park: one the best game reserves in South Africa. Here, you can experience up-close views of wildlife, from elephants to hippos, without the high cost usually tied to exclusive lodges. The setting strikes the perfect balance between adventure and comfort, making it ideal for couples, families, and solo travellers looking for more from their African vacation.

An African holiday for every kind of traveller

Why Kruger stays the top pick for an African holiday

Kruger National Park is still the place to be for an authentic African vacation. Its nearly two million hectares of untouched vegetation and diverse indigenous species make it one of the most game-rich areas on the continent. It’s easy to see why visitors return again and again, with Big Five sightings rivalling some of the most spectacular views in the world. Our hotel gives you unbeatable access to this wildlife paradise, minus the cost of remote, fly-in resorts.

Luxury made accessible on your African vacation

You might expect five-star experiences to come with an equally high price tag during an African holiday, but that’s not the case here. Kruger Gate Hotel delivers superb value by combining high-end amenities with one of the best locations near the park. Unwind after a morning game drive with a massage in a treetop spa, or enjoy a relaxing drink from the viewing deck overlooking the Sabie River. It’s the very definition of an African vacation where the extras feel premium, but aren’t .

Your African vacation begins before the gate

A distinct feature of staying at Kruger Gate Hotel is that the safari begins right from the property. Before you even step into the park, you can watch an amazing array of birds, grazing antelope, and the occasional Elephant moving along the riverbank, all from the cosiness of the hotel grounds. It’s the type of stay that brings the wilderness to your doorstep for anyone craving a true African vacation without the stress of long transfers or over-planning.

The smart choice for an unforgettable African holiday

If you’re planning an African vacation and want more than just a place to sleep, Kruger Gate Hotel is the smart pick. You can book an immersive safari experience, take in beautiful surroundings, or have nearby access to Kruger’s treasures, all at a price that works for families and travellers who value both experience and economy. You get the best of Africa at an incredible price, whether you’re playing putt-putt with the kids or heading out on a guided game drive.

African vacation comfort meets affordability at Kruger Gate Hotel

If you’re looking for an African holiday that brings you right to the doorstep of Kruger National Park and still having some change in the pocket?

Our hotel sets the tone for a legendary African vacation right from check-in, offering spacious rooms, elegant design, and family-friendly facilities in one of the most sought-after safari destinations.

Rooms come with private areas overlooking natural landscapes, allowing you to take in the magic of the bush from the solace of your own space. Crisp linen, quality finishes, and subtle African décor create an atmosphere that’s both soothing and stylish, ideal for winding down after a serious workout at the fitness centre or spa treatments.

A relaxing African holiday with luxury in reach

What sets this African vacation apart is the attention to detail without the typically high cost. Our facilities suit active and leisurely holidays, allowing guests to take competitive advantage of the tennis courts or challenge a loved one to a stimulating game of chess. It’s a level of rejuvenation you’d expect from exclusive lodges, but made accessible to travellers looking for smart value.

Guest Reviews

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!

Perfectly located on the Sabie river surrounded by game reserves, right next to 1 of the main entrance gates to the Kruger National Park. Beautiful outlay on wooden decks / walkways surrounded by lush vegetation and trees. 1 indoor restaurant and 1 outdoor restaurant shape in a boma. Rated 4 star hotel but the food variety and quality is close to 5 star. 2 outdoor swimming pools with one overlooking the river and big game that may wonder upclose. Game drives can be booked any time of day and a gym is also available Romantic, peaceful and good value

What a truly beautiful hotel. We loved watching the hippos in the river from the infinity pool, and every dinner around the open fire was absolutely wonderful.
We spent three unforgettable days on safari with Enock, who completely made the experience for us. His knowledge is exceptional, he answered every question with ease and enthusiasm. He went above and beyond to ensure our safari was everything we hoped for and more.

Thanks to Enock for amazing 3 day Safari with my family. He was so much fun and his knowledge was incredible teaching us a lot while making us feel very safe.
His experience showed with him been able to spot out the smallest signs of animals, allowing us to see 4 of the big 5, among many other animals.
Thanks Enock.

From great service, an amazing safari and a great hotel in general, this place is definitely worth it.

Would love to come back in the next few years.

Enoch was an incredible safari guide. He was so knowledgable and made us feel very safe. He could spot animals without a camera or binoculars that we hadn’t been able to see! He knew lots of information about the animals and local area. He was also extremely respectful to the animals.

The hotel is magnificent! It has a lovely feel about it, and the buffet breakfast and dinner is the best.

Equipe atenciosa, quarto amplo, confortável e bem decorado. Recepção e áreas comuns aconchegantes e bem decoradas. Excelente café da manhã e jantar. Um lanche para quem está indo para o Safari antes das 6 da manhã fez toda diferença.

L’emplacement est superbe à la frontière du parc Kruger, face a la rivière où nous avons pu observer hippopotames, antilopes et même un éléphant traverser, tout en étant au bord de la très belle piscine. Chambre bien décorée et très propre et nombreux services pour rendre l’expérience très agréable. Un plaisir de revenir de safari dans l’établissement !
