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.

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.

There was the paradox of it being very African but very chic! Lovely facility

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 !
