The location right at the Paul Kruger Gate is simply unbeatable for early morning game drives. You can truly tell that this hotel knows exactly what safari travelers need, and the attention to detail is remarkable.
A great example is their breakfast-to-go logistics: picking up the breakfast packs in the morning was seamless, and the boxes were fantastic. It felt like a little surprise gift box because there was so much more variety and quality inside than we had expected for a takeaway meal.
After long, dusty hours in the park, the infinity pool with its stunning viewing deck was such a welcome luxury. Thoughtful touches like providing mosquito spray in the room, paired with genuinely attentive and warm service from the entire staff, made our stay completely stress-free.
Despite hosting a fair number of guests, the beautifully designed and spacious grounds disperse everyone so well that it never feels crowded. We never encountered queues or bottlenecks at either breakfast or dinner, which kept the atmosphere relaxed and enjoyable throughout.
If we would have known earlier, we definitely would have booked one more night here just to relax for a full day in this beautiful hotel.
We would return in a heartbeat and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Kruger!
Heaven on Earth! Pure magic. An absolutely stunning hotel. Everything is done to perfection. Hospitality is unbelievable from every staff member. The food is amazing the rooms are spacious and comfortable. Quiet and peaceful ambience. The view from the deck was amazing. Will highly recommend can't wait to visit again.
Trulia 5-star experience for a hotel
Highly recommended for anyone looking for a world - class luxury gateway
Awesome place to enjoy pool bar swimming food excellent
Superb! A perfect location to combine relaxation with a safari in Kruger Park. The hotel grounds are vast, beautifully landscaped to cater to any guest's needs, and completely immersed in lush greenery. Animals constantly come right up to and onto the property. It is an absolute delight to watch them from the bar while enjoying a delicious cocktail.
However, beware of the baboons and make sure to read all the hotel warnings. They robbed our friends' room because the terrace door wasn't latched properly. But this fact hasn't spoil the overall positive experience of staying here.
The buffet breakfasts and dinners are beyond praise. The variety is incredible and caters to every taste—from fresh-pressed orange juice to crocodile skewers grilled right in front of you, delicious desserts (including Malva pudding), and a great selection of ice cream. It’s a true feast; you won't even have enough room to try everything you want! :-).
The rooms are spacious and clean, featuring wide and extremely comfortable beds. The staff is welcoming and polite. On-site, you'll find a souvenir shop with reasonable prices, a coffee bar serving delicious coffee, a pool bar where you can spot animals, and a very cozy lounge bar with a wide selection of drinks, a warm fireplace, plush armchairs and sofas.
Highly recommended!
The room was extremely comfortable. Loved the pool and the view. Woke up in the morning with animals right outside our window. Food was excellent highly recommend.
Its a big lodge with lots of rooms, so expect it to be fairly busy, but overall a great location, good food and staff and a proper Kruger aura to it. Cant go wrong here as a destination or stop over
Fantastic room , great staff . Brilliantly located for kruger national park.
Rooms serviced to a high standard and all spotlessly clean. Restaurant good as are the bars. Highly recommended
I can’t think of one negative thing to say! From the communication while booking the hotel/safaris to the meals and friendly staff. The buffets were excellent. A lot vegetarian options. Food and cocktails at the pool were great.
(Translated by Google) Superb location, just a 1-minute walk from the Paul Kruger Gate and 30 minutes from Skukuza Airport and Camp.
All the staff are incredibly courteous and attentive! (Especially Aleck in the restaurant.)
The hotel prices are also more than reasonable. A large beer, for example, costs €2.50. The cocktails were also mixed with high-quality spirits.
The safari tours organized by the hotel are highly recommended. They are incredibly well-planned, excellently organized, with very well-maintained safari vehicles, great breakfast boxes, and you're practically guaranteed to see wildlife. The guides collaborate with each other and are very experienced.

Super Lage, in 1 Min. ist man am Paul Kruger Gate und 30 Minuten vom Skukuza Flughafen und Camp entfernt.
Alle Mitarbeiter sind super zuvorkommend & aufmerksam! (Besonder Aleck im Restaurant)
Die Preise im Hotel sind auch mehr als in Ordnung. Ein großes Bier z.B. für 2,50€. Auch die Cocktails wurden mit hochwertigen Spirituosen gemixt.
Sehr zu empfehlen sind die Safari Touren die vom Hotel organisiert werden. Super durchdacht, tolle Orga, sehr gepflegte Safari-Vehicle, klasse Frühstücks-Boxen und man hat eigentlich Sichtungsgarantie. Die Guides tauschen sich untereinander aus und können viel Erfahrung aufweisen.
We spent two days there. And it was a fantastic experience. The safaris are great.
This is an excellent location outside the Paul Kruger Gate. The grounds and rooms are maintained in excellent condition. The entire staff is warm and friendly. Being next to Kruger National Park, we could observe animals next to the Sabie River from the pool deck. The included breakfast and dinner buffets were excellent with fresh juice in the morning. I would highly recommend staying here.

Beautifull location with excellent rooms and service.
Lovely hotel, excellent staff, great meals, top gym, lovely infinity pool, just perfect for a Kruger visit.
Kruger Gate Hotel has been the best holiday ever. Staying in the most beautiful place, watching wildlife passing by the pool was something else. In addition to the overwhelming nature, everything else was truly perfect.
The Hotel, Staff, Food and Experiences have been one of a kind!
I want to single out the incredible staff of Kruger Gate Hotel. We didn\'t just feel like guests, we felt like we\'ve been part of the family. Feeling this welcomed has been extremely special.
Thank you for making our stay unforgettable. We are coming back!
I went here as part of a tour group. It was probably the most memorable of all hotels we stayed in, and there were a couple other great ones too. Wake up to elephants or hippos and other animals on the property? Why not. It\'s such a beautiful property and the facilities are well maintained. The staff was on top of everything. The dinner....such a treat! Bring your appetite, look at the stars, and don\'t forget to go to the cold room, too. :D
The bed is comfy, the rooms were great if you don\'t want to go experience the property. They do come in for turndown service and to cover the windows, as the baboons will try to get in if you leave the door unlocked (this is not unique to the area, monkeys in other areas do this too!). They don\'t approach you unless you leave out food, so don\'t worry. They did run on the roof and made hilarious sounds, but it\'s part of the experience. I was warned about mosquitoes but I didn\'t get stung once which is a first. Upon arriving, I turned up the AC and asked for bug spray. They brought me a can which was a game changer. And the location...couldn\'t be better. Literally waling distance from Kruger (don\'t even think about walking though...there are safari vehicles for a reason!). I would stay here again. Highly recommend!
Thank you for this amazing stay. Harold from the Safari was truly amazing and made our trip super special. And Preselda fron tha Spa gave an excellent massage. In overall the stay was awesome!
Best experience ever! Thank you Lawrence for making the best one! And thank you Floyd for being the best safari guide! See you soon

Location was superb, staff were so friendly and helpful and just the entire hotel is an epic place. It was our best holiday ever as a family and I would highly recommend to everyone else!! Thank you so much Sarah and team!!
Accueil propriété repas cadre .. tout est un sans faute
Very nice place, fantastic service, all clean, pool, bar, food all perfect. If we have to comeback for sure we will stay in this hotel.
I really loved this hotel! The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always helpful. The food was absolutely delicious, and the evening entertainment was fantastic. The whole atmosphere was wonderful, and we truly enjoyed our stay!
We had a wonderful stay at the Kruger Gate Hotel! The property itself is beautiful, with grounds that have a natural feel and have clearly been designed with great consideration for the surrounding environment.
Prime Location: Situated right on the iconic Sabie River and just moments away from the Paul Kruger Gate into the national park, the location could not be better for safari lovers.
The Rooms: Our room was lovely—fresh, spotless, modern, and very comfortable to relax in after a day in the bush.
Service & Guest Relations: The staff are exceptional. Everyone was incredibly warm and friendly, constantly making us feel like we were their number one priority.
Dining Experience: WOW—the food served here is absolutely incredible! A massive thank you to all the talented chefs. Both breakfast and dinner were buffet-style with an unreal variety of choices, all wonderfully fresh and full of flavor:
Breakfast: Served in a light, airy setting where sitting outside allows you to listen to the peaceful sounds of nature as you start your day.
Dinner: Transformed into a magical evening atmosphere complete with open-air dining, a cozy fire pit, the sounds of the surrounding bush, and even live performers playing while you dine!
The Views & Value: The scenery looking out over the river is simply breathtaking, and when you factor in the quality of the food, service, and location, the value for money is spot on.
We will definitely be returning to the Kruger area in the future, and when we do, we will without a doubt stay at the Kruger Gate Hotel again.
