Nice place
Amazing place to visit ❤️ ✨️
What an experience! Best time of my life. Made irreplaceable memories thanks to a wonderful facility.
Beautiful hotel situated along the Kruger park
We returned to Kruger Gate Hotel as a family (two adults, two children) for seven nights to celebrate two birthdays. Our second visit.
This is still our family favourite holiday location, even more so after a second visit.
I cannot imagine a much better place for a family holiday, couples getaway, or a solo traveller who wants to experience the highest quality and stress-free safari.
Some hopefully helpful details:
Location - directly on the edge of one of the best safari locations on earth, southern Kruger. You will see many of the \'big five\' from the hotel\'s pool area.
Staff/Atmosphere - everyone here is incredibly kind, helpful, and genuinely wants to make your stay as special as possible.
Safari - you MUST book game drives whilst you are here. We had four early morning private safaris, booked through the hotel, and one night safari booked directly with Kruger Park (they collect you from the Hotel).
Rooms - the rooms have recently been renovated and are very clean and comfortable. We had a family room which worked perfectly for four of us.
Food and drink - buffet breakfast and dinner are included in the room rate, both are excellent with lots of variety - South African themed with international alternatives too. Lunch and drinks are a la carte and are also excellent.
Value for money - just right. Everything here is high quality, but you can also enjoy yourself properly without having to worry too much about your bill at check out!
Cleanliness - perfect.
Noise level - you\'re surrounded by wildlife, so it\'s never silent (you wouldn\'t want it to be!), but it is definitely a very relaxing place to stay.
Some special mentions for some staff members:
EDGAR - we have been on safari many times, Edgar is the best guide we have ever experienced. We\'ve now had seven game drives with Edgar and every one has been spectacular. Ask for him when booking your safari.
MISHECK and ZENDA - nothing is too much trouble and they are lovely company if you want to learn more about life in this beautiful part of the world whilst enjoying some delicious poolside lunch or post-safari cocktails.
ALICK and NEO - wonderful dinner hosts in the open-air restaurant.
Overall, an amazing holiday destination.
Todo menos el frío del agua de la alberca
the location - the vibe - friendly helpful staff
Hotel is perfect to visit Kruger park. It is located very close to the gate, the staff is amazing, food is very good and swimming pool area is prefect for kids and adults.
クルーガー公園まで近く、またサファリツアーへの申し込みも簡単で良かったです。
Amazing property and staff! Thanks so much Neo!
Dit hotel is fantastisch qua ligging net aan de rand van het Krugerpark. De olifanten, buffels, zwijnen,.. komen tot aan de rand van het zwembad. Qua sfeer en gezelligheid is dit top! Vriendelijke mensen, uitstekende bediening. Een aanrader!
Great location with the pool at the edge of the river.
Game viewing with a cocktail. LP
