New flights between Cape Town and Kruger National Park

From 2 April 2024, low-cost airline, Flysafair will introduce a new twice-weekly flight route between Cape Town International Airport and Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport (KMIA).

This is fantastic news for inbound tourists, as well as locals planning their Kruger safari. The new Safair flights will operate every Tuesday and Saturday. Travellers will depart from Cape Town at 09h00 and land at KMIA around 11h30; or depart from KMIA at 12h05 and arrive in Cape Town at approximately 14h50.

If you book your Kruger accommodation with us, we will arrange your airport transfers. KMIA is 95km from Kruger Gate Hotel which means you will arrive at the hotel in the early afternoon. You can choose to relax at our Pool Bar with its gorgeous view over Sabie River into the Park and enjoy a freshly made wood-fired pizza and a glass of wine while keeping an eye out for game coming down to the river. If you’d rather get straight into the Park, book an afternoon game drive ahead of time. You will find grab-and-go sandwiches and baked goods, as well as gourmet coffee and teas at our coffee shop in reception.

The hotel is located directly at the entrance to the Krugerpark.
All rooms and public areas are tastefully renovated and give the impression of a comfortable Safari Lodge.
The staff is friendly and very attentive.
The new (additional) pool with lounge deck and snack bar offers fantastic views of Kruger Park. Here you can often observe animals such as elephants, hippos and of course impalas.

In particular, the location and comfort make this hotel the best value for the southern Krugerpark.

Magnifique hôtel avec une très belle structure qui donne l’impression d’être suspendu dans les arbres. La décoration est superbe et l’emplacement, juste en face du Kruger National Park, est exceptionnel.
La table est excellente, avec des plats de grande qualité.
Le personnel est très accueillant et particulièrement attentionné.
Une expérience vraiment mémorable !

I could not recommend the Kruger Gate Hotel more! Our experience from start to finish was flawless. We were greeted at Skukuza airport and driven through Kruger National Park to get to the hotel. That meant that even our taxi journey to the hotel featured animal sightings. The staff at the hotel were so efficient and got us checked in so quickly, even though we were a large family/friends group. We stayed for four nights and decided to do 1x full day safari, 1x morning safari and 1x afternoon safari. This allowed us to explore the National Park but also enjoy the beautiful facilities at the hotel. The safaris were excellently organised and the guides were incredible. We saw 4 out of the big 5 (sadly no leopards, although we had two very near misses where we had just missed a leopard sighting) and countless other animals. In our down time we enjoyed the three swimming pools, one of which overlooked the river and where we could see elephants on the opposite banks, and our wonderful rooms. The group was split between Deluxe Rooms and the self catering chalets. The rooms were stunning and the chalets were excellent for larger groups. The food was AMAZING! Every night we were treated to an extensive buffet in the boma with amazing singing. The ambience was incredible. On the two mornings we weren\'t on game drives we enjoyed the buffet breakfast, which was also delicious. While there a large number of our group booked treatments at the spa, which we all raved about. The trip was to celebrate my 30th Birthday and we were a large group visiting from the UK. I would like to thank everyone at the Kruger Gate Hotel for making our stay so special. I really hope that I return again in the future. Thank you again!
