When the years roll by without ever getting the chance to relax and enjoy some real downtime, a certain distance can grow between us. This is because the relentless focus on work, home life and school days locks us into our roles for most of the year. We’re always ‘doing’ together instead of being together.

That’s why the long summer holiday is the ideal time to get away with your special group to reset and reconnect on a very human level.

Here are some of the highlights of a group safari holiday to Kruger Gate Hotel:

• Location is everything – we’re situated on the banks of the picturesque Sabie River, right at the Paul Kruger Gate. This means it’s less than a one-minute drive from the hotel to get into the game-rich southern region of the Park.
• It’s a world away from work and home life – although so accessible by road or air, you will be easily immersed in the evocative wildness of the South African bush. It’s unbelievably refreshing to the soul to be surrounded by the beauty and serenity of Kruger’s natural landscapes and our hotel’s lush riverine woodland.
• The thrill of a wild adventure – venturing into the Park on our open-air game drives fills you with anticipation. Your safari through Big 5 country unfolds with wonder and awe. It’s an incredibly bonding experience to share close encounters with wildlife with your family, friends or team members.
• Chilling out together – after the excitement of your safari, there’s plenty of opportunities to relax and unwind together. Our Pool Bar and Viewing Deck is a gorgeous quiet zone overlooking the Sabie River. You can enjoy gourmet pizzas from our wood-fired oven. Or lounge around the sparkling infinity pool while animals wander down to the river for a drink.
• Exploring the Panorama Route – you have easy access to stunning attractions such as God’s Window, Bourke’s Luck Potholes and Pilgrim’s Rest. There are plenty adventure activities on offer such as mountain biking, hiking and zip-lining that are perfect for group fun.
• Dining under the stars – evenings are full of cheerful companionship and delicious food. Your group can enjoy fireside African feasts in our Lapa Restaurant or book a private dining pod on our Viewing Deck for an exclusive experience.
