The location, the staff and the experience all just unbelievable. Had the most incredible trip here. The staff are all super friendly. The rooms are just perfect for a getaway and the amenities are top notch. Had the privilege of watching giraffe, elephants, hippos and waterbuck all from our loungers at the infinity pool

We stayed at Kruger Gate Hotel for a spwcial 10 year wedding anniversary and birthday of our children. From the very beginning everyone has been extremely helpful with all of our requests. Upon arrival we had everything impeccably organized. We booked the room deco and our kids LOVED it. Particularly outstanding was the private dinner with birthday cake with a view over the park. It was an incredible experience we all want to repeat.
The all day safari activity was super nice and fun. Just everything perfect we all left with a lot of happy family memories!

O hotel é lindo, a comida maravilhosa e o atendimento de toda a equipe foi incrível! Também amamos os safaris, principalmente pela duração mais longa do que eu via em outros lugares, porque isso proporcionou irmos para áreas mais distantes no parque. Pretendo voltar com certeza!! Esse hotel vai fazer parte das lembranças da viagem mais maravilhosa da minha vida!

Kruger Gate Hotel is our spoil for the year.
Spending time with our family there is very enjoyable.
Food is excellent

Breakfast was delicious with an extensive range of fresh produce, the food was exceptional. Great location as it was a 3 minute drive to Kruger Park entrance with the Sabi river running alongside the property where you could watch the animals from Kruger Park. We stayed in a luxury room which was beautifully appointed.
We enjoyed a buffet dinner each night in a dinning area with an Africa ambiance, wood fire. It was a perfect place to relax and enjoy our safaris.

Hôtel juste incroyable !
La piscine offre un panorama sublime, les chambres sont propres et vraiment agréables, et le personnel est au top, que ce soit pour le safari ou au sein de l’établissement. Le petit-déjeuner est très bon, et le buffet du soir aussi (seuls les desserts étaient un peu décevants). L’endroit est luxueux, calme et parfait pour profiter du cadre exceptionnel du Kruger.
