Romance in the wild

You can turn any weekend in February into a memorable Valentine’s weekend with Kruger Gate Hotel’s Couples African Safari & Spa Package. Imagine you and your partner embarking on a half-day safari into the southern Kruger, one of the most game-rich areas in the Park. Choose a morning adventure with a packed breakfast picnic or opt for an afternoon drive through the Paul Kruger Gate, soaking in the golden hues of the African sunset. The thrill of spotting wildlife in its natural habitat, including the possibilities of wild encounters with Africa’s Big 5 creates shared experiences you will treasure for a lifetime.

Serenity at our African Spa – Kruger Gate Hotel Valentine’s specials

After your safari, relish a deeply relaxing Couples’ Indulgence Spa treatment at our serene African Spa, nestled in the lush canopy of the Sabie riverine woodland. Your pampering experience begins with a soothing foot ritual, followed by stress-relieving back, neck, and shoulder massages in our tree-top couple’s treatment space. This indulgent experience is designed to leave you both feeling relaxed, connected, and cherished.

Ultimate Valentine’s Day safari lodge – unforgettable dining and proposal spots

Dining out under the starry African sky at Kruger Gate Hotel is nothing short of extraordinary. Celebrate your love with a private dinner in one of the intimate dining pods on the game-viewing deck with uninterrupted views over the Sabie River into the Park. Surrounded by the sounds of the bushveld, it’s the perfect setting for an unforgettable romantic evening or even a marriage proposal.

If you’re looking for an iconic proposal spot beyond the hotel, take a trip along the nearby Panorama Route to God’s Window, where breathtaking views of the Lowveld provide a stunning backdrop for life’s most important question.

We phoned Reception at 16h00 on 20 Nov and requested a top sheet and light weight blanket for the night; on return after a sunset gamedrive and supper at the Boma we were disappointed that it was not delivered.

I had a headache, the shop was closed and I asked the Hostess at the Boma, Debra if she knew if there is some assistance. She went out of her way to find me 2 panado\'s! Thank you Debra!

There are so many vista\'s and various offerings at this hotel; I feel like so spoilt when visiting and the Boma is just beyond words! Thank you 😊

This hotel is perfectly located just outside the Paul Kruger Gate by the Sabie River. We flew into Skukuza airport which is extremely small and booked the hotel transfer to collect us. The driver was very helpful, guiding us through paperwork needed for the park and giving us a mini safari on the way to the hotel.
Stayed for 3 nights and had 2 rooms. A lovely hotel with lots of different seating areas connected by wooden walkways, surrounded by trees with a stream running through it. It was well staffed and clean. There were viewing huts over the waterhole and Sabie River where we saw hippos and buffalo and a family of 3 bushbuck in the grounds.
The infinity pool was great, also overlooking the river and the pool bar/restaurant had a good range of food and drink and friendly staff. Just be careful not to leave food/drink unattended on the table as the monkeys come in.
Dinner at the outside Lapa Restaurant was fabulous - so much choice from their buffet and always some singing, often by the staff. The bushbabies patrol around the fence and occasionally come down looking for scraps, which the guests all found entertaining.
Breakfast was another huge buffet with a choice of inside or outside seating. There was also a bar, coffee shop and gift shop, plus a spa which we had treatments at, including extremely firm massages.
We booked 2 morning safari\'s with the hotel (I pre-booked these before we went) and they pointed out that it was fractionally cheaper for us to have a private tour as there were 4 of us. The vehicles can take 9-10 people but I\'m so glad we had the private tour and not the shared vehicle as it meant we could slide across the seats and see so much more and it was much more personalised. (We also did a sunset safari which we had to use SanParks for as private vehicles aren\'t allowed into the park in the evening, but it wasn\'t as good as a much bigger vehicle and less information).
The hotel used Kurt Safari for our morning tours and would thoroughly recommend. We had the same driver/guide, Karabo, each morning so he took us in 2 different directions and we saw an incredible variety of animals and he was very knowledgeable. It was a totally amazing experience!
The morning safari\'s start very early, and you have to fill in some indemnity forms before leaving (you need your passport numbers for this), so we had to be ready about 45 mins before entry to the park at 5.30am. We pre-ordered packed breakfast from the hotel and we stopped at a camp between 8.30-9am to eat - drink, sandwich, apple, yoghurt, biltong, snack. The camps we stopped at also had cafes and shops. The morning safari was about 6 hours, which is long enough really and gave some time in the afternoon to relax and catch up on sleep after a very early start.
We would love to visit Kruger again and if we did, I would stay at this hotel and I would definitely book the private vehicle safari.

Nous avons beaucoup aimé le cadre de l hôtel avec la gentillesse du personnel .
L hôtel est juste à côté du parc national donc très pratique pour les safari ( on recommande fortement les safari proposés par l hôtel )

Il y a de nombreuses activités dans l hôtel ( exemple : mini golf, spa/massage , piscine avec vue sur la rivière , belle salle de musculation …)
Et les petits déjeuners et dîners étaient tout simplement excellents !
