Coming together at Kruger Gate’s Lapa Restaurant

In South African culture, the lapa is a circular, enclosed space where people gather to share food, music, dance and storytelling. 

 It’s a generous place of authentic connection and celebration. Our Lapa Restaurant is surrounded by giant trees and with a central firepit that represents community.

Every evening after sunset, when the boom of a big brass gong blends with a traditional African welcome, guests are invited into the Lapa Restaurant for a sumptuous fireside feast. There is an array of local and international cuisine for you to enjoy a leisurely three-course dinner under the stars.

Fires spark, and s’mores and roosterbroodjies grill over the coals. There’s a walk-in refrigerated room with crisp salads, locally crafted cheeses and the Chef’s homemade ice-cream flavours, desserts and cake of the day.  Our team serves up a wide choice of main dishes from South African braaied meats, roasts, game specialities and hearty stews to Asian-style stir-fries and Italian-style pastas.

It’s a time to relax into the night, nourish the body well and share stories about the day’s thrilling safari adventures. From across the river, you might hear the call of Black-backed Jackals or the roaring of Lions, reminding you that for all the luxury and comfort of our Lapa Restaurant experience, you are wonderfully immersed in the South African wilds.

Guest Reviews

Amazing hotel. We absolutely loved our stay. Room was modern, clean and spacious. The breakfast buffet was great but the dinner buffet was simply outstanding. The staff are all so friendly, yet professional. And the pool deck is wonderful. I will definitely stay here again.

A estrutura e localização são perfeitas. Os safaris foram espetaculares, o guia Bright foi sensacional. O tranfer de/para aeroporto praticamente ja foi um safari, vimos muitos animais e o motorista parava pra fotos e explicava tudo. Staff educado e atencioso. O café da manhã e o jantar são maravilhosos. Retornarei em breve.
