Adventure awaits – your way

Whether you are planning a once-off, bucket list African safari or irresistibly returning to the bush, it’s important that you tailor the experience to your needs and desires.

Luckily, there are so many choices for guests visiting the Kruger National Park.

Self-driving – There are those who love to self-drive, and that independence offers a range of choices. Getting there and back on your steam means that you can take time to explore Mpumalanga’s spectacular Panorama Route and visit the scenic and interesting towns enroute to the Park. You also have the autonomy to head into Park for game drives at will, choosing the game watching routes and stops at Rest Camps and picnic sites that suit you best. This option works well for adventurous travellers, families with young children who need flexibility and those returning guests who know Kruger well.

Fly-in – This is an equally popular option that works well for those who have limited travel time and want to get the most out of their stay. Kruger visitors are well-served by a range of flights into Skukuza Airport, Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport (KMIA) and Hoedspruit Airport. Once you have arrived, you have the choice of car hire for a self-driving safari or guided game drives.

Safari game drives – There are distinct advantages if you opt for a safari with guided game drives. Elevated seating in customised, open-air vehicles gives you excellent views of the bush. You will also have a professional safari guide at your service who has so much knowledge to share about the game, birds, ecosystems and vegetation that you will see. Our safari guides are familiar with many key species in the area and can be highly effective at spotting special sightings such as the Big 5, as well as the many other fascinating species of mammals, birds, reptiles and insects.

Couples or families? – While Kruger is a sensational destination for a romantic escape, it is equally excellent as a family holiday destination. You choose. If you want to celebrate a new connection or an anniversary, you can stay in a luxury suite, enjoy private dining under the stars and experience a romantic turn down including sparkling wine and rose petals – consider our Couples Spa and Safari Package. On the other hand, if getting into the bush with your family or besties to make cherished memories that last a lifetime, think about our Family rooms that have enough space for everyone.

The important thing is that you tailor this extraordinary African adventure just the way that you want.

Right from the beginning, we were assisted and welcomed with warmth and professionalism by Relax, Sarah, Nolwazi, and their incredible teams. Every aspect of our stay was thoughtfully curated and delivered with genuine care.

The rooms were beautifully prepared, offering comfort and elegance. The food was absolutely delicious — every meal a delight! The game drives were exciting and well-organized, giving us unforgettable moments in nature. And the spa… what a treat! The service throughout was consistently warm, attentive, and heartfelt.

We are so grateful for the time, effort, and hospitality that went into making this trip so special. Thank you for creating such a memorable experience — we’ll cherish it always!

what a magical experience! from the time we were picked up from Skukuza airport the personal, friendly service was simply outstanding. We have hosted conferences all over South Africa for many years, Kruger Gate Hotel made our conference exceptional this year. Thank you.

The moment we arrived at the Kruger Gate Hotel, we were enchanted with the construction. The walkways.. the lights at night….
And the drama all added to the ambience. I opened my window and saw monkeys swinging from the trees behind my room! This is not forgettable! Variety at the buffet was insane!
Our servers were anxious to please, the next morning we went on a safari very early, and it was just about walking distance from the hotel! I never expected this. The minute we entered the park our vehicle was surrounded by elephants. And that was just the beginning. This was the experience of a lifetime. We were with Gate One, which is a leading tour company, and as we were leaving the resort, the operations manager approached me. I can’t remember her name.- She was charming.- as was every single person that we met. We promised her to fill out the survey form, which I just did. I would not hesitate to trust everything about the Kruger Gate hotel!

We loved our stay at Kruger Gate. The location is fantastic and our overall experience was amazing. Our kids loved the pool and the wildlife around the hotel. The viewing deck brought us up close and personal with elephants. The facilities and food at dinner and breakfast were excellent and the hospitality were received was world class! One of my highlights was the birthday song the restaurant staff sang to me at dinner. We will definitely go back.

By far the most amazing hotel we have ever stayed in! We have just returned from a week at Kruger Gate Hotel, and no words can describe how great this hotel is. A true luxury African experience. We have never been to a hotel with more helpful, friendly staff - everyone was perfect. Every single member of staff were so polite and kind. Sarah was wonderful and helped us with anything we needed, she helped make a birthday trip truly special! All of the guides on the safaris made sure we got to see as many animals as possible and we were fortunate enough to see all of the big 5 and many more. The rooms and all facilities were spotless, and there was a wide variety of food options too. We would highly recommend this hotel and hope to return in the future.

Our stay at Krüger Gate Hotel was simply wonderful. The service was excellent from start to finish, and the entire team made us feel very welcome. We had a private dinner with our server Excellent, who was not only extremely friendly but also very professional and attentive – a true highlight of our trip. On my birthday, the staff surprised me by singing a birthday song together, which made the evening incredibly special. Highly recommended!

Everything was absolutely wonderful.
The room was spacious, tastefully decorated, and very clean. The bed was extremely comfortable. The safaris we booked were simply amazing, and the guides put in great effort to spot all the animals. The organization and the overall flow were excellent. The outdoor area was really beautiful, but the best part was the food. The buffet left nothing to be desired and everything was delicious.

For my daughter’s birthday, we had a private dining experience – the service was outstanding, and Excellent made the evening truly special for us. The crew was fantastic – they sang Happy Birthday, and their voices were just incredible. It was an unforgettable stay!

Meraviglioso hotel nei pressi del gate kruger.
Noi avevamo una camera quadrupla, spaziosa così come i letti. L’hotel è perfettamente inserito nel contesto naturale. La mattina venivamo svegliati dalle frenetiche corse dei babbuini che erano presenti anche nella zona piscina: bellissimi. Lì ci siamo goduti anche dei tramonti spettacolari. Cibo ottimo e c’è tanta varietà, possibilità di assaggiare carni locali come il coccodrillo o l’antilope.
Ci siamo fermati due notti, avremmo voluto stare più tempo.

Hotel muito bem localizado - praticamente na porta do parque, com café e jantar excelentes. A piscina de frente para o mato é espetacular e o atendimento foi bem positivo.
