Choosing a room type: Kruger Gate accommodation that’s best for families.

Kruger Gate Hotel, situated on the banks of the Sabie River and less than a minute’s drive from the Paul Kruger Gate offers families 4-star accommodation and a safe, comfortable base from which they can explore the game-rich southern region of South Africa’s greatest National Park.

It’s a huge advantage for families that children under 12 years stay free when sharing accommodation with their parents. This includes their breakfasts and dinners. For family members over 12 years, a third-person supplement is payable.

Here are the best Kruger accommodation options for families:

  • There are 33 Kruger Deluxe Family rooms with 2 Queen beds, an ensuite bathroom with both a tub and a walk-in shower, and a separate toilet
  • 20 Kruger Deluxe Family rooms with 2 King beds that can be arranged as 4 single beds are also available, featuring an ensuite bathroom with a walk-in shower, and a separate toilet
  • The Nkanyi Suite is a great choice for larger family groups who want an exclusive, luxury Kruger experience. There’s one ensuite bathroom with a tastefully designed living area with a fireplace and dining and lounge zones leading out to a secluded, enclosed patio, plunge pool, braai facilities and an outdoor shower. 3 adjacent Suites turn Nkanyi into a hub for bigger families. Nkanyi also features a kitchenette with butler service for private, in-room dining occasions.
  • While the focus of your stay with us will be adventuring into the Kruger on safari, there’s plenty to keep the family entertained when you are relaxing at the hotel. The family pool complex includes a wading pool for little ones. There’s putt-putt, volleyball and tennis for family games. Wherever possible, we like to be inclusive of children, so you will find Kiddies menus for lunch or in-room dining, as well as at the Lapa Restaurant dinners.

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 !
