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.

Kruger Gate Hotel has perfect location for safaris. The hotel is nice, clean, and well known for it’s location to the Kruger National Park. Beautiful lunch restaurant with a swimming poole, with a good view over the river very close. A lot of different animals lives there. 🦓🦒🐘

Beautiful hotel, in such a great location. Wish we upgraded our room as the standard was a bit basic, however everything else made up for the stay. The dinner buffet was outstanding and the to go breakfast boxes were some of the best we’ve had. Thank you.

Very satisfactory hotel excepts for the spa, very disappointing. We would like to say a big thanks and congratulation for costumer experience to DEBRAH. She is a sunshine in this hotel thanks to its humour, its livelyhood and its smile. It is a high professional and she is a game changer for this hotel to become a luxury one.

Tout était absolument parfait durant notre séjour : animaux au pied du lit, personnel aux petits soins, le cadre est incroyabl, l qualité des repas etc. Vraiment je recommande. Pour nous, ce séjour représentait un certain budget et n\'avons pas été décus, loin de là. Superbe.

The location is sensational especially on the deck overlooking the Sabi River where we spent a relaxing day watching nyala, kudu, bushbuck, hippo and elephants. Even had a leopard wander by.

The staff are genuinely friendly and the facilities and food are excellent.

Highly recommended

The location, the food, the people, the safari & the experience was all UNBEATABLE! Every staff member who walked past us was cheery & happy, nothing was too difficult for them to accommodate, and they greeted us by name after the first day. Absolutely amazing experience, we felt at home. The breakfast & dinner was included in a buffet style... easily the best buffet we have had. The variety was fantastic, giving multi cultural food and changing the options daily. No day was boring at the buffet! The pool overlooks the river with incredible wildlife views while you sip on a cocktail. The safari\'s that were offered by the hotel were phenomenal. Our guides delivered on every expectation we set, and they were so incredibly patient with the 7 year old we travelled with. The rooms were cleaned daily & all the facilities were great. For a bit of relaxation, we hit the spa and WOW. The massage huts once again overlook the river with wildlife as you get treated to a fantastic massage. They even accommodated a wellness day for children! We can\'t wait to come back again!!
