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.

We returned to Kruger Gate Hotel as a family (two adults, two children) for seven nights to celebrate two birthdays. Our second visit.

This is still our family favourite holiday location, even more so after a second visit.

I cannot imagine a much better place for a family holiday, couples getaway, or a solo traveller who wants to experience the highest quality and stress-free safari.

Some hopefully helpful details:

Location - directly on the edge of one of the best safari locations on earth, southern Kruger. You will see many of the \'big five\' from the hotel\'s pool area.

Staff/Atmosphere - everyone here is incredibly kind, helpful, and genuinely wants to make your stay as special as possible.

Safari - you MUST book game drives whilst you are here. We had four early morning private safaris, booked through the hotel, and one night safari booked directly with Kruger Park (they collect you from the Hotel).

Rooms - the rooms have recently been renovated and are very clean and comfortable. We had a family room which worked perfectly for four of us.

Food and drink - buffet breakfast and dinner are included in the room rate, both are excellent with lots of variety - South African themed with international alternatives too. Lunch and drinks are a la carte and are also excellent.

Value for money - just right. Everything here is high quality, but you can also enjoy yourself properly without having to worry too much about your bill at check out!

Cleanliness - perfect.

Noise level - you\'re surrounded by wildlife, so it\'s never silent (you wouldn\'t want it to be!), but it is definitely a very relaxing place to stay.

Some special mentions for some staff members:
 
EDGAR - we have been on safari many times, Edgar is the best guide we have ever experienced. We\'ve now had seven game drives with Edgar and every one has been spectacular. Ask for him when booking your safari.

MISHECK and ZENDA - nothing is too much trouble and they are lovely company if you want to learn more about life in this beautiful part of the world whilst enjoying some delicious poolside lunch or post-safari cocktails.

ALICK and NEO - wonderful dinner hosts in the open-air restaurant.

Overall, an amazing holiday destination.

Dit hotel is fantastisch qua ligging net aan de rand van het Krugerpark. De olifanten, buffels, zwijnen,.. komen tot aan de rand van het zwembad. Qua sfeer en gezelligheid is dit top! Vriendelijke mensen, uitstekende bediening. Een aanrader!
