Guest Reviews

(Translated by Google) An incredibly wonderful hotel right near the Paul Kruger Gate. A place you'll want to return to again and again. Lovingly furnished, spacious rooms with wildlife (monkeys, antelopes) outside the patio door. A superbly equipped fitness center, the most delicious buffet (both breakfast and dinner) I've ever had the pleasure of enjoying – and I've traveled extensively. The view from the pool overlooking the river landscape is breathtaking, especially at sunrise. We saw a herd of 22 elephants right from the pool, along with many birds, hippos, and more. The staff is incredibly kind and attentive, very warm and helpful. We will definitely be back. One of our favorite holiday destinations! Booking the safari through the hotel is also highly recommended.

Unglaublich tolles Hotel in der direkten Umgebung des Paul Krüger Gates. Ein Ort, an den man immer wieder zurück kehren möchte. Liebevoll eingerichtete, großzügige Zimmer mit Wildlife (Affen, Antilopen) vor der Terrassentür. Super ausgestattetes Fitness Studio, das leckerste Buffet (sowohl Frühstück, als auch Abendessen), was ich jemals genießen durfte - und ich bin wirklich schon weit gereist. Der Ausblick aus dem Pool auf die Flusslandschaft ist gigantisch, erst Recht bei Sonnenaufgang. Wir haben eine Herde von 22 Elefanten direkt vom Pool aus gesehen, dazu viele Vögel, Flusspferde usw. Das Personal ist unglaublich nett und zuvorkommend, sehr herzlich und hilfsbereit. Wir werden definitiv wiederkommen. Einer unserer schönsten Urlaubsorte! Die Safari über das Hotel gebucht, ist ebenfalls empfehlenswert.

Really nice to wake up and see wild animals by our window and everywhere in the resort. The staff are super helpful and friendly. Rooms are gorgeous and the food at the restaurants is INCREDIBLE! The hotel is located literally 1min from Kruger reserve national park so very quick and easy for the Safari.
Thanks so much for making my birthday such an amazing experience!

The Kruger Gate Hotel was an incredible experience that i can highly recommend to any tourist and local traveling to the Kruger National Park.

The location is perfect and right by the entrance to the Nature Reserve. The accommodation is very clean and luxurious with gardens and environment that makes you feel that you are in the heart of Africa with views directly into the park. The staff are very friendly and professional and the food for both the breakfasts and dinners was exceptional and always fresh and delicious.

The African energy over here is very powerful and spending time in this hotel with all the people land and animals greater than a five star experience.

Felt welcome. Nice and cosy. Food and service very good - better than 5 star hotels

From the location, view, ambiance and food, you won't regret booking there.

Amazing location with amazing staff! This was a brilliant place to stay and spend our time. The only item we would have liked to have available to us would have been a dinner option other than the buffet - like an upscale steakhouse or fancy menu ala carte. The buffet was good with many options but would have enjoyed a quieter dinner choice for our family.

We had an amazing stay at Kruger Gate Hotel. The room was fantastic, the food and drink offerings were excellent, and the service was outstanding with such a warm, personal touch. The game drives were absolutely spectacular and made the whole experience unforgettable. Highly recommend!

My husband and I travel regularly all over the world and this was one of the best experiences we’ve ever had on our travels. The staff were efficient and friendly. The food was outstanding and the room was beautiful. We had a few bushbuck and nyala antelope quietly grazing right by our unit. I would highly recommend to anyone traveling to the kruger area. We will be back.

I really can’t recommend this enough, everything was perfect and Culture was the best guide we could’ve asked for, be sure if you have culture as your guide no animal is stealthy enough to escape his hawk eyes. I still don’t know how he managed to see the leopard and its cub. Absolutely amazing safari.
Also the location of the hotel is amazing we were there for 10 minutes looked around and just saw 2 elephants out the gate at the pool. Cannot beat this probably the best hotel I’ve ever been in!

Nice hotel. Friendly staff. Made us felt welcome. Very near Kruger gate. Less than 10 minutes by walk - safe to walk. Nice tasty food with entertainment every night.

I stayed for three nights.
To begin with, the hotel has a wonderful atmosphere; its design harmonizes with nature, making you truly feel like you are in Africa.
The facilities are all clean, well-maintained, and comfortable.
Watching the sunrise and the starry sky from the pool deck was an incredible experience.
You might even encounter animals right on the hotel grounds, which adds to the enjoyment.
The staff are all friendly, and the restaurant offers a wide variety of delicious food.
The safari guides are skilled at spotting wildlife.
Since July is winter, it was colder in the mornings and evenings than I had expected, so warm clothing is essential.
It was a fantastic stay. I would love to visit again.

Hôtel dans l\' esprit d\' un club de vacances avec une situation exceptionnelle (900 mètres) de l\' entrée du parc Kruger(Kruger Gate).
La chambre de luxe était grande, avec une literie de qualité, bien insonorisée. En sortant de celle-ci, il nous arrivait de croiser des impalas, des singes velvet,...
L hôtel dispose d\'une grande salle de fitness, d\' un spa, d\' un mini golf, d\' une boutique souvenirs, de 2 bars et 2 restaurants ainsi que de 2 piscines.
Le restaurant du soir( à ciel ouvert)est sous forme de buffet et très diversifié. La nourriture est bonne. La salle des petits déjeuners est très belle et lumineuse. On y trouve aussi un buffet( sucré, salé, froid et chaud).
Le bar interieur est très sympa, il y a une cheminée qui fonctionne pour les soirées fraîches.
Le bar restaurant extérieur dispose d\'une plateforme d\' observation des animaux sur la rivière Sabie. La vue sur la piscine à débordement et sur la rivière est incroyable.

Das Hotel und die Verpflegung waren perfekt. Die Atmosphäre im Lapa Restaurant richtig schön. Wir haben 5 Safaris mitgemacht, die alle sehr gut organisiert waren. Hervorheben möchte ich unseren zweimaligen Guide Culture, der einen super Job gemacht hat.

Super fijn om echt NAAST de gate te verblijven van Kruger. Dat zie je ook aan de dieren die je kunt spotten op het terrein. Heerlijk verblijf, prachtige kamers en heel fijne service. Het diner in buffetvorm is ook echt heerlijk. Wij waren hier 3 dagen en het was steeds weer afwisselend. Je krijgt ook ontbijt mee als je voor zonsopkomst al in kruger wil zijn. De ontbijt pakketjes zijn prima maaaaaar.... als je dan een keer echt gaat ontbijten kijk je pas echt je ogen uit. Zooooveel keuze en mega veel gebakjes etc. Veel te gek maar super de luxe.
