Thank you to the Kruger Gate Hotel for the extraordinary experience. They went out of their way to make our stay unforgettable. They did so much effort on my sister’s birthday. They’re always smiling, so friendly and helpful. The location is amazing, I love the pool that overlooks the river. We’ve seen hippos, antelopes and elephants while swimming. The food was beyond amazing. The buffet has a good variety of food options and is so much delicious food to choose from. Special thanks to Sarah for being so kind, welcoming and helpful. We will definitely be back.

Wonderful Hotel. The Luxury room was spacious and comfy !
Pool deck is so nice. Breakfast and Dinner are great as well.
I would also recommend this hotel for its location close to the gate which is very convenient.

Posted on 12/03/2025 by Google

This hotel has come a long way from the ancient Protea hotel with the dark and gloomy bedrooms to a high quality facility with good restaurant standard and beautifully appointed bedrooms. The immediate vicinity of the Paul Kruger Gate is a major asset.

Posted on 19/03/2025 by TripAdvisor

We had given the trip to a friend for his birthday. We had booked a deluxe room. This category is a simple standard room, somewhat old-fashioned with small flaws such as chipped tiles in the bathroom etc. But the room was clean and we had not spent much time there. Our friend had a Luxury room and that was much better, spacious and modern and highly recommended.

The facility is very nicely laid out, the restaurants are both great, the food - both breakfast and dinner buffet - Great selection and top quality.

The staff is very friendly and helpful.

We had been promised a piece of cake with singing for our friend\'s birthday for dinner, which unfortunately did not work out.

The game drives are a bit chaotic in the morning. Unfortunately, the allocation of guests to the drivers does not work so well. Depending on which driver you catch (Alex was great) you will be compensated. We did 2 drives and saw all the Big 5 and many other animals.

The pools are good for relaxing, the loungers comfortable, the staff there also very attentive.

The Kruger Gate Hotel is highly recommended.

Posted on 13/03/2025 by TripAdvisor

From check in to check out everything is superb. I had a great room, super fresh and clean and quiet. Food is great and so is everyone working there. So many nice and friendly people and can’t remember the names of all but a special shoutout to Charity and Monica that took special care of me😍
Pool area gorgeous, very close to the park and animals passing by or coming close almost daily.
Spa is great and really recommend it!
If you’re even considering this place don’t think just book!

Gostamos demais da nossa estadia, queríamos ter ficado mais. O hotel era muito bonito, bem decorado e muito confortável. A vista da piscina era incrível. Vimos elefantes, hipopótamos e impalas. Tanto o jantar quanto o café da manhã foram excelentes, com muita variedade, atendendo a todos os gostos. Vimos macacos, babuínos, cobras e impalas dentro do hotel. Foi uma ótima experiência.

Вкусная и разнообразная еда высокого качества, маловато рыбки, в остальном все отлично.
За окном номера бегают антилопы, обезьяны.
Красивая территория, вечером можно наблюдать бегемотов прямо из бассейна.

Loved the Luxury room. Spent a day in a deluxe family room which wasn’t so nice and the toilet would need multiple flushes when used, so was pleased that I had arranged for the rest of my stay in a luxury room. The only thing about the luxury room I didn’t like was that the “balconies” are not enclosed - they just open into some dense bush, which felt unsafe, so I never felt inspired to use it. The gym was great, it had enough space and equipment to get a good workout in. As a foodie, I LOVED LOVED LOVED the breakfast and especially Boma buffet dinners - EXCELLENT. Highlight - always had a different pudding with custard in the dessert room. Never stop that. The variety and range of food was amazing and for someone like me who likes to eat on the healthier side, I felt seen and fully supported. The infinity pool and the lookout huts overlooking the watering hole at the entrance to Kruger Park were lovely. Had a private catered dinner in one of the huts for my birthday, which was very special, although, to be honest, everything was so good with regular dining, it would have been just as fine eating the buffet food in the private hut. All that said, the experience was very nice and the staff were particularly attentive, even arriving en masse with a birthday cake and singing to me. Memories I’ll cherish forever. When I did a private sunrise safari, the hotel provided packed lunches, which were full of various things that were interesting and some of which I liked trying. That was how I got introduced to biltong. It is ideally located at the entrance to Paul Kruger Gate and on my one and only half-day private sunset safari (with a separate company), I got to see the Big Five. I would most definitely love to visit again.

12/10 Sternen! Es war eine außergewöhnliche Erfahrung. Direkt am Kruger Gate liegt das Hotel mit Pool Richtung Sabi River. Die gesamte Anlage war sehr sauber, außergewöhnlich schön gestaltet und jeden Tag ein Erlebnis. Das Essen ist super, das Personal sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit, die Safari war erfolgreich. Wir haben jede Sekunde genossen und würden sie jederzeit empfehlen. Vom Pool aus haben wir Elefanten, Nilpferde und viele andere Tiere gesehen.
Das Frühstück und Abendessen ist sehr umfangreich und für jeden (Vegetarierin) genügend Auswahl. Auch die anderen Gäste, mit denen wir gesprochen hatten, waren völlig begeistert. Es war eine unglaubliche Zeit!

Die Anlage ist sehr schön angelegt und besticht durch ihren Charme. Die Luxuszimmer sind großzügig und modern eingerichtet und den etwas in die Jahre gekommenen Deluxe Zimmern vorzuziehen.
Die Sauberkeit ist im gesamten komplex auffallend.

Das Personal und durchwegs freundlich und sehr hilfsbereit. Vielen Dank besonders an Sarah für all ihre Hilfe mit Buchungen etc.

Die Gamedrives beginnen zwar etwas chaotisch bis jeder Gast seinen Fahrer gefunden hat aber Alex hat uns toll durch den Drive gebracht. Er hat uns so viel erklärt und gezeigt und wir haben dann auch die Big 5 und viele weitere Highlights erleben dürfen.

Die Restaurants sind beide wunderschön und das Essen - Frühstück und Abendessen in Nuffetgorm - lassen keine Wünsche offen.

Wir können das Hotel sehr empfehlen.
