Love blossoms in the wilds of Kruger

Travelling together as a couple brings a host of benefits to a relationship. Away from the stress and hustle of everyday life, you can enjoy quality time, putting aside your devices to focus on each other.

Shared experiences in beautiful settings are woven into the rich tapestry of your relationship and deepen emotional bonds. Trust, affection, and intimacy are all enhanced by taking time out to explore new destinations and experiences and a Kruger safari holiday is one of the best choices for a couple’s getaway that is meaningful and memorable.

Africa’s alluring bushveld, with its heat, wildness, and sensational beauty, has always been a perfect setting for romance. Fresh sunrises and vivid sunsets, hot days and star-lit nights, wide, flowing rivers and lush savannahs teeming with predators and prey provide a backdrop that is gorgeous, adventurous, and sensual.

Now, let’s deep-dive into the essential elements of a romantic escape at Kruger Gate Hotel:

Luxury Kruger accommodation

You want a private sanctuary that is the ultimate in comfort and style. Choose a Luxury Room with a plush large-size King Bed and crisp linens. Our Luxury Rooms have en-suite bathrooms with twin basins, a walk-in shower and a bathtub, as well as a separate toilet. For a special night in, there’s a flat screen TV and in-room dining and bar service. You can also upgrade to a spacious Kruger Suite with a larger lounge area and private outdoor patio.

Thrilling Kruger safaris

It takes less than a minute’s drive to enter the Park through the Paul Kruger Gate. Adventure out into wild together every day on guided, open-vehicle morning, all-day, afternoon and night Kruger National Park game drives with the anticipation of spotting the Big 5 – Lion, Leopard, Elephant, Buffalo and Black Rhino, and much more. Let go of the stresses and strains of modern life as you together immerse yourselves in the untamed wild and connect to your oneness with nature.

Relaxing Pool Bar & Viewing Deck 

This scenic quiet zone with infinity pool is set in tranquil riverine woodland and offers endless views into the Kruger Park and all-day game-viewing from our unique vantage at the Sabie River. Swim, sunbathe and enjoy wood-fired pizzas and fine wine at lunch or sharing platters and cocktails at sundowners and dinners.

Indulgent African Spa

After the exhilaration of your safari excursions, visit our serene African-inspired Spa overlooking the Sabie River. There’s a dedicated couple’s tree-house treatment room where our trained therapists will pamper you both. Customise your Spa experience by choosing from our menu of treatments including therapeutic massages such as stress relief, hot stone, or aromatherapy, body exfoliations and scrubs, as well as cleansing and purifying facials.

Unforgettable African dining

Our Lapa Restaurant with its vibrant firelit African feasts is a wonderful social setting for romantic dinners. However, private dining experiences in the secluded pods along our game viewing deck are also available. Experience the ultimate in togetherness, Kruger Park dining under the stars, a wide choice of delicious food and discreet service.

Cosy up at the Shilovu Bar

Round off a great day by stopping by the Shilovu Bar for a night-cap of Amarula liqueur or premium whiskey. Situated along the hotel’s wooden walkway through the woodland, Shilovu includes an elegant lounge, a friendly bar area and lamp-lit nooks that are ideal for a romantic after-dinner interlude.
You will find that your romantic getaway at Kruger Park Hotel becomes more than an escapade – it’s a unique chapter in your love story.

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.
