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.

I have been coming to the Kruger Gate hotel Since I was four years old and it has been the highlight of my year ever since.

My sister got married here and it was such an amazing wedding.

The views are incredible, the food is delicious and the rooms are impeccable. The comfiest beds I have ever slept in.

The staff are so friendly and welcoming. I have known Mishack since I was little and every time is so amazing to catch up with him. He went from making me vanilla milkshakes as a little kid to making me amazing cocktails as an adult. The last time I was there myself and my partner had a private dinner which was so amazing we had to have another! Zenda and Tsephe truly made it so special for us. The dinners in the Lapa is one my highlights as we always spot monkeys and sometimes if we are lucky a residential Genet. Samarina was so kind as to reserve a table for us every night at our favourite spot.

I could not recommend this place any higher as it truly is life changing!

An exceptional experience in a beautiful hotel. Staff went out of their way to make our stay a memorable one.

The rooms are beautifully appointed and spotlessly clean with comfortable beds, spacious living area, great en suite bathroom with wonderfully big showers.

Food was exceptional at the Lapa restaurant in the evening, with tables set around the fire pits and a fabulous array of local and international dishes to choose from at the buffet. Breakfast, served at the indoors restaurant, had everything you could imagine to the highest standard.

Overall, the ambience is what truly makes it; just amazing. 10 out of 10.
