Our rates are inclusive of Dinner, Bed and Breakfast.

Choosing a room type: Kruger Gate accommodation that’s best for families.

Kruger Gate Hotel, situated on the banks of the Sabie River and less than a minute’s drive from the Paul Kruger Gate offers families 4-star accommodation and a safe, comfortable base from which they can explore the game-rich southern region of South Africa’s greatest National Park.

It’s a huge advantage for families that children under 12 years stay free when sharing accommodation with their parents. This includes their breakfasts and dinners. For family members over 12 years, a third-person supplement is payable.

Here are the best Kruger accommodation options for families:

  • There are 33 Kruger Deluxe Family rooms with 2 Queen beds, an ensuite bathroom with both a tub and a walk-in shower, and a separate toilet
  • 20 Kruger Deluxe Family rooms with 2 King beds that can be arranged as 4 single beds are also available, featuring an ensuite bathroom with a walk-in shower, and a separate toilet
  • The Nkanyi Suite is a great choice for larger family groups who want an exclusive, luxury Kruger experience. There’s one ensuite bathroom with a tastefully designed living area with a fireplace and dining and lounge zones leading out to a secluded, enclosed patio, plunge pool, braai facilities and an outdoor shower. 3 adjacent Suites turn Nkanyi into a hub for bigger families. Nkanyi also features a kitchenette with butler service for private, in-room dining occasions.
  • While the focus of your stay with us will be adventuring into the Kruger on safari, there’s plenty to keep the family entertained when you are relaxing at the hotel. The family pool complex includes a wading pool for little ones. There’s putt-putt, volleyball and tennis for family games. Wherever possible, we like to be inclusive of children, so you will find Kiddies menus for lunch or in-room dining, as well as at the Lapa Restaurant dinners.

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.

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!
