Team incentive trips – rewarding performance, fostering cohesion

It’s that time of year when business is thinking about how to reward their star performers and strengthen team cohesion. Team incentive trips are not the same as the standard year-end functions. 

Their purpose is to give a particular team a chance to get out of the office and connect in a completely fresh environment. November/December is perfect timing because you can celebrate the year’s milestones while setting the tone for what needs to be achieved in 2026. The best team incentive trips combine recognition, rejuvenation and a renewed focus on the big business goals.

Ideally situated right at the Paul Kruger Gate of the Kruger National Park, Kruger Gate Hotel is a popular incentive travel destination for South African organisations, so it is important to make your bookings early.

Our unique incentive team experience includes:

  • Immersive safari experiences – Private Big 5 game drives into South Africa’s most iconic wildlife reserve that offer teams unforgettable shared adventures in the wild.
  • Luxury and comfort – A range of elegant rooms and suites that blend modern conveniences with authentic safari style.
  • Private dining – A choice of private dining experiences under starlit skies that includes a secluded pod on our Viewing Deck and the spectacular River Boma for larger groups.
  • Cultural encounters – Local dance troupes and visits to nearby cultural villages bring your team in contact with the rich local heritage and different perspectives.
  • Rest and relaxation – From lounging on our Pool Deck overlooking the Sabie River to enjoying pampering, African-inspired treatments at our award-winning Spa, your team members will have plenty of opportunities to reset and reconnect to themselves and each other.
  • Focus on wellbeing – We know how important a healthy lifestyle is – that’s why our chefs use an abundance of fresh, locally produced ingredients and you’ll always find an alcohol-free drink option available on the menu. Our rooms are designed for a good night’s sleep, and the refurbished gym is perfect for keeping up with your exercise routine.

At Kruger Gate Hotel, our events team offers tailored experiences and attention to detail, so that you can relax about the logistics and focus instead on the company’s all-important goals and team dynamics.

Amazing hotel with wildlife in & around the property. Safari game drive with Joel was excellent and we accomplished the Big 5 views of the animals. Food & accommodations were great. Spa treatment with massage, very relaxed 😎🤘🏼

Excellent location, very clean room, well equipped, very hot water in the bathroom, nice stuff. Everything is very well organized. First thing we saw - pumbas on the parking. Lots of them. Then we entered our room and saw an impala on the terrace, just lying there. I was shocked. There is a shop with snacks and souvenirs and a welcome point with some snacks and beverages in reception area.
We had morning safari for 333 $. It\'s a good price for private safari, it starts 5:30 and you are back at 12. Breakfast to go is provided. Cars are very good and comfortable, even in group, i think, you can have nice observation. We were alone in the car, our guide was a wonderful man, he did his best to show us the animals. We saw lions twice, a lot of giraffes, hippos, elephants, zebras and so on. When we were back we saw a lot of elephants from the pool area.
The most impressing thing - dinner. It is the best dinner we had in South Africa, even better than 300$ dinner in a fancy restaurant in Cape Town. And this one was only buffet, included in our stay but such a big choice and what wonderful taste has the chef, my compliments, every dish was beautifully done. On your way to dinner you can see monkeys on the trees. Hotel is beautiful. Perfect choice for first nights in Kruger. Thank you very much for our wonderful memories.

It’s our 4th trip to Kruger Gate Hotel. We love the fact that we can fly directly to Nelspruit and it’s a short drive to the hotel. The newly renovated bedrooms are lovely. Also love the new breakfast area.
