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.

Beautiful hotel with a beautiful structure that gives the impression of being suspended in the trees. The decoration is superb and the location, right in front of Kruger National Park, is exceptional.
The table is excellent, with high quality dishes.
The staff is very welcoming and particularly attentive.
A truly memorable experience!

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!
